1. 1. Life Cycle Assessment of Electric Road Systems - Climate impact in comparison with battery electric vehicles, biogas vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Ebba Söderström; Emanuel Bengtsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Electric road systems; Elonroad; life cycle assessment; rail; feed-in station; pick-up; on-board charger; climate impact; global warming potential; articulated lorry; lower medium car; bus; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where vehicles are charged dynamically.

3. 2. Infrastructure for Electromobility-available options, Sustainability and the Future

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

   Author : Chukwuemezie Okeke; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Electric Vehicles (EVs) are regarded as promising vehicles for the future, and has been greatly focused on by automotive manufacturers across the world to solve the massive greenhouse gas emission from the transportation sector. Unfortunately, because of the challenges of limited batteries capacity, high purchase cost, lack of charging infrastructure and lack of supporting government policies in developing countries, the technology uptake has been limited.

6. 5. Feeding the 45 million : substituting soybean protein with insect protein within EU poultry and egg production

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Author : Douglas Hunter; [2019]
   Keywords : insects; insect production; livestock feed; entomophagy; land use; futures research; food security; energy security; black soldier fly; mealworm; house cricket; sustainable development;

   Abstract : A global population increasing both in number and in resource consumption per capita has resulted in food, livestock feed and energy crop demands that are increasingly difficult to meet on rapidly degrading soils within a diminishing available area of arable land. With further expansion of agricultural land infeasible and yield increases through further intensification insufficient to meet the scale of predicted crop demand, the use of insects as an animal feed has gained traction as a method of not only reducing competition for arable land, but also some of the detrimental environmental consequences of livestock and conventional feed production.
