  1. 1. Stability improvement to a ruthenium catalyst for partial oxidation of methane

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Melker Axelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : catalysis; reaction engineering; kinetics; partial oxidation; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) is an energy-efficient alternative to steam reforming, the currently prevailing method for energy production from natural gas. Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB has developed a catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane into syngas, for use in solid oxide fuel cells. READ MORE

  3. 2. Cloning and expressing the genes encoding Glycerol dehydratase (GDHt) and 1,3-Propanediol dehydrogenase (1,3-PDDH) in E. coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Eleni Pechlivani; [2023]
    Keywords : 1; 3-Propanediol; Glycerol dehydratase; 3-Propanediol dehydrogenase; Glycerol dehydratase reactivase; E. coli; Protein expression; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The biodiesel sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a significant increase in glycerol production as a by-product. Addressing the challenge of glycerol valorization is crucial for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessment of the energetic feasibility of a novel CHP biorefinery concept

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Ângelo Miguel Mendes Ferreira; [2023]
    Keywords : biorefinery; bioenergy; biomimicry; combined heat and power; Earth Power Lodge; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study investigates the potential for energetic self-reliance in an integrated biore- finery, the Earth Power Lodge (EPL), which aims to convert waste into valuable by- products through bio- and thermochemical conversion processes. The primary questions addressed include assessing the necessity of external propane to sustain the pyrolysis process and the net energy output of the ThermoChemical Reactor (TCR) process when fractional distillation is applied to the resulting bio-oils.

  5. 4. Reducing cost and CO2 emissions in the gasoline to electric vehicle fleet transition

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Emil Grund Stålvinge; [2023]
    Keywords : electric car; electric conversion; bldc; li-ion; lion; lipo; li-po; volvo; elbil; elbilar; elkonvertering; bldc; li-ion; lion; lipo; li-po; volvo;

    Abstract : If you buy a new electric car today it will take on average about ten years for you to start saving money compared to just continue driving your old gasoline car. It will also take about 4 years until you start saving carbon dioxide emissions, both of this is because of new production costs and emissions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Research on the Hydrothermal Conversion of Xylose Catalysed by CO2-H2O into Furfural

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

    Author : Robert Liao; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Agricultural waste treatment and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion have been critical challenges for sustainable development. This work is part of a study on converting straw into biofuels, which involves using xylose as the material, carbon dioxide (CO2) as the catalyst, and water (H2O) and Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent to produce furfural through hydrothermal conversion.
