1. 21. GHG reduction by rewetted arable land : a study on cultivated peatland for biogas production in temperate climate in Sweden

   University essay from

   Author : Mireille LMI Martens; [2017]
   Keywords : Phragmites australis; Typha latifolia; methane yield; paludiculture; peatland;

   Abstract : Hydrophytes can be cultivated on rewetted drained peatland and used as substrate to produce biogas which can be utilized as vehicle fuel. This results in less GHG from rewetted peat soils and at the same time leads to renewable energy that substitutes fossil fuels. READ MORE

3. 22. Thermodynamic Equilibrium Prediction of Corrosion Tendency in Fluidized-Bed Combustion of Solid Waste

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Aida Hosseinian; [2017]
   Keywords : Waste to Energy; Fluidized Bed Boiler; Combustion; Corrosion; Factsage; Chemical Fractionation; Waste-derived Fuel;

   Abstract : Global warming and air pollution are two issues of greatest concerns to human life in recent years. Environmental concerns and econimal/political independency of fossil fuels have been the driving force of developing interest in renewable resources of energy for many countries. READ MORE

4. 23. TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF WOOD PYROLYSIS IN SWEDEN

   Keywords : Bio energy; Wood; Biomass; Biofuels; Bio oil; Bio Char; Syngas; Pyrolysis; Combustion; Capital cost; production cost;

   Abstract : The significance of bio fuels production is increasing as fossil fuels are being depleted and energy security is gaining importance in the final energy mix. Moreover, bio fuel production offers the potential to alleviate concerns regarding global warming and air pollution. READ MORE

5. 24. The influence of Swirl and Tumble on the combustion, emissions formation and heat transfer in Diesel Dual Fuel engines

   University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

   Author : Hans-Christian Nilsson Vinnars; [2013]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Det allt större fokus som läggs på kopplingen mellan den ökande konsumtionen av fossila drivmedel och stigande koncentrationsnivåer av växthusgasen koldioxid har föranlett en intensifiering av forskningen inom alternativa drivmedel och förbränningsmotorkoncept, där Diesel Dual Fuel är konceptet som avhandlas under det här examensarbetet. Specifikt undersöks inverkan av rotationsrörelserna Swirl och Tumble på förbränningen, emissionsbildningen och värmeöverföringen i en portinsprutad Diesel Dual Fuelmotor. READ MORE

6. 25. Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Biodiesel Deposits Formed on a Hot Metal Surface

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Emilie Westberg; [2013]
   Keywords : Fatty Acid Methyl Ester FAME ; Biodiesel deposits; SEM EDS; ATR-FTIR; GCMS;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the formation of deposits from thermally degraded biodiesel on a hot metal surface under the influence of sodium or copper contaminations. Biodiesel or Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) is a widely utilized biofuel with the potential to replace fossil fuels, however, issues regarding the thermal and oxidative stability prevent the progress of biodiesel for utilization as vehicle fuel.
