  1. 6. Battery Storage as Grid Reinforcement for Peak Power Demands

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

    Author : Jesper Hilleberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery Storage; Battery Energy Storage System; Grid Reinforcement; Flexibility; Lithium-ion battery; li-ion battery; Large Scale Grid Storage; BESS; Energy Storage; Peak Power Demand; Batterilagring; Batterilagringsystem; Nätförstärkning; Nätförstärkningsåtgärd; toppeffektlaster; Flexibilitet; Flexibilitetslösning; litiumjonbatteri; li-ion batteri; BESS; energilagring;

    Abstract : An increased amount of intermittent electricity production, more electric vehicles (EV), and an overall electrification of society may all cause a higher variability between the balance of supply and demand on the electric grid. Battery storage has been identified as a solution to the emerging problem asit can be charged during hours of low power demand and then discharged to help meet the power demand during peak loads.

  3. 7. CCU in Scandinavia: an uncertainty analysis regarding the future state of captured carbon in the region.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : William Melander; [2023]
    Keywords : CCU; E-kerosene; Precast concrete; CO2 utilization; Scandinavian region; Defossilization; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The urgent need to mitigate climate change has prompted researchers to investigate novel strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One promising technology that might ease the way for sustainable and circular economies is carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which not only captures CO2 emissions but also uses them to produce valuable products.

  4. 8. Assessing the Risks of Investments in On-Site Photovoltaic Systems : A Study on the Swedish Property Market

    University essay from KTH/Fastighetsföretagande och finansiella system

    Author : Hannes Ernhagen; Lukas Skärvinge; [2023]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic; Renewable energy; Risk; Sustainability; Solceller; Förnybar energi; Risk; Hållbarhet;

    Abstract : One of the biggest challenges facing our world and our societies is climate change. The transition towards a society where our energy does not come from fossil fuels, but rather renewable energy, has proven to be one of the most powerful methods to reduce climate change. READ MORE

  5. 9. The effects of taxes on fossil fuels on firms’ environmental and economic performance

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Mia Bivered; [2021-06-29]
    Keywords : carbon pricing; CO2 emissions; climate policy; fossil fuels; competitiveness;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates whether taxes on fossil fuel use have decreased firms’ carbon intensity and whether carbon pricing has negatively affected firms’ economic performance. This is done using a firm level panel dataset, covering all firms in the mining, manufacturing and energy sectors in Sweden active during 2008-2018. READ MORE

  6. 10. CCS via Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to Ethylene-based Polymeric Construction Materials

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Christian Taylor; [2021]
    Keywords : CCS; Electrochemical CO2 Reduction; CO2 to Ethylene; Power-to-X; Polymeric Construction Materials; Circular Carbon Economy; Electrolysis; CO2 electroreduction; CCS; Elektrokemisk CO2-reduktion; Koldioxid till Eten; Power-to-X; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial; Cirkulär kolekonomi; elektrolys; CO2-elektroreduktion;

    Abstract : IPCC SR15 rapporterade att alla framtida scenarier för att begränsa klimatförändringen till 1,5°C är starkt beroende av negativa utsläppstekniker, såsom geografisk CO2-lagring som används av Stockholm Exergi’s Värtaverket. Men kan man uppnå starkare klimatvinster genom en cirkulär koldioxidekonomi? Bildandet av en cirkulär koldioxidekonomi är absolut nödvändigt för att uppnå global koldioxidneutralitet, men hur kommer vi dit? Elektrolys av CO2 erbjuder en ekonomiskt och miljömässigt attraktiv väg för att uppgradera CO2-utsläpp till värdefulla bränslen och råvaror, vilket minskar användningen av fossila resurser och CO2-utsläpp till atmosfären.
