  1. 1. Mandating transparency on deforestation and ecosystem conversion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Moritz Driescher; [2023]
    Keywords : sustainability reporting; mandatory disclosure; deforestation; ecosystem conversion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The production of eggs, meat, and dairy products in the EU indirectly contributes to deforestation and ecosystem conversion (DEC) in Latin America due to extensive imports of soy for animal feed. This thesis explores under which preconditions the mandatory European Sustainability Reporting Standards for the agriculture and farming sector can increase transparency in the opaque soy supply chains and incentivize reductions of imported DEC.

    Abstract : Biotin is an essential co-factor in various metabolic processes and is crucial for the growth and maintenance of living organisms. The market need for biotin is multifaceted and driven by its importance in human health, beauty and cosmetics applications, pharmaceuticals, animal nutrition, and other industries. READ MORE

  3. 3. Predicting Treatment Performance Using Ternary Plot : Macronutrients’ impact on biomass conversion efficiency

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Madeleine Gobl; [2022]
    Keywords : Black soldier fly; organic waste treatment; biomass conversion efficiency; treatment performance; macronutrients; ternary plot; organic waste; amerikansk vapensflugan; triangulär diagram; organiskt avfallsbehandling; organiskt avfall; behandlingseffektivitet; biomassomvandlings-effektivitet; makronäringsämnen;

    Abstract : Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) waste treatment is becoming a more sought-after organic waste treatment since it produces larvae for animal feed as well as fertilizer, the need for prediction and optimization of treatment performance increases. This study aims to predict biomass conversion efficiency (BCE) for waste going into treatment, using only the nutritional data from other studies as it could give a good performance estimation while using available data.

    Keywords : Recirculating aquaculture system; renewable electricity; Feed Conversion Ratio; environmental impact; freshwater eutrophication; climate change; land use; cumulative energy use; acidification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Today the future supply of seafood is threatened due to human activities which, among other things, has led to overfishing. However, more environmental friendly initiatives of producing seafood have emerged, such as Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs). READ MORE

  5. 5. Techno-Economic Assessment of High-Temperature H2O/CO2 : Co-Electrolysis in Solid Oxide Electrolysers for Syngas Production

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Shivani Ramprasad Jambur; [2022]
    Keywords : Co-electrolysis; Power-to-X; Process modeling; Green Syngas; Solid-Oxide Electrolyser;

    Abstract : High-temperature Co-electrolysis of H2O and CO2 in a solid-oxide electrolyser (Co-SOE) for syngas production is a high-efficiency renewable electricity conversion and storage method part of the Power-to-X technologies. Syngas, a mixture of H2, CO and CO2, is a critical building block to make several chemical and synthesis fuels. READ MORE
