  1. 11. On the Carbon Border: The Western Balkans and the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Daniella Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Western Balkan; European Union EU ; Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : In May 2023, the EU adopted a crucial part of their updated climate policy, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This thesis poses questions about how this novel legislation affects the EUs South-Eastern neighbours, the Western Balkans (WB). READ MORE

  3. 12. A study on how a dashboard for energy data visualisations can be designed to be usable and inspire pro-environmental behaviour in an industry setting

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Sofie Drugge Eneroth; Alice Elkjaer; [2023]
    Keywords : Usability; learnability; subjective satisfaction; behavioural change; energy data visualisations; HCD; eco-feedback; personas; prototyping;

    Abstract : An essential part of combating climate change is to reduce energy consumption. As the industrial sector was accountable for approximately a third of the total global carbon dioxide equivalents in 2019, it is crucial for industries to manage their energy usage. READ MORE

  4. 13. Application of electrodes with redox mechanisms for the desalination of water

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Pablo Moreno Cerezo; [2023]
    Keywords : Activated Carbon Cloth ACC ; Capacitive Deionization CDI ; Cyclic Voltammetry CV ; Electrochemistry; Polyaniline PANI ; Prussian Blue PB and Redox Reactions; Aktivt koltyg ACC ; Kapacitiv avjonisering CDI ; Cyklisk voltammetri CV ; Elektrokemi; Polyanilin PANI ; Preussisk blå PB och Redoxreaktioner;

    Abstract : Capacitive deionization is a promising technology for purification and desalination of brackish water with great advantages over current technologies due to its low operating cost and high-water recovery ratio. Most of the system studied relies on the adsorption/desorption capacity of activated carbon electrodes due to its high surface area. READ MORE

  5. 14. Interfacial Dynamics at Surface Modified Molecular/Perovskite Solar Cells : How measurements are made to understand solar cell stability

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Benjamin Verbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : perovskite; solar cell; solar; energy; XPS; synchrotron;

    Abstract : Humanity has great energy demands, and must simultaneously combat climate change by curbing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Perovskite solar cells (PSC) provide a low-carbon energy source, at lower production costs than traditional silicon-based solar cells. PSC's suffer some issues with long-term stability. READ MORE

  6. 15. Investigation of a balanced Swedish energy system in 2045 : Analysis of technical specifications for flexibility needed in a future Swedish intermittent electricity system.

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Petter Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ancillary services; Energy storage; Grid Flexibility; Market analysis; Sustainable electricity production.; Stödtjänster; Energilagring; Flexibilitet; Marknadsanalys; Hållbar elproduktion.;

    Abstract : As part of Sweden's goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions, renewable energy will play an increasingly important role in the future. A major change in the electrification of industries and the transport sector will lead to an ever-increasing need for electricity production. READ MORE
