  1. 16. Pathway for Sustainable Aviation : Analysis of Science-Based Targets for Aviation

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

    Author : Sebastian Lindfors; [2023]
    Keywords : Aviation; Airline; Science-Based Targets initiative; Climate change; Sustainable transformation; Alternative fuels; Sustainable aviation fuels SAF ; Hydrogen; Electric aviation; Scenario analysis; Flygindustrin; Flygbolag; Science-Based Targets-initiativet; Klimatförändring; Hållbar transformation; Alternativa bränslen; Hållbart flygbränsle; Väte; Elektrisk flygning; Scenarioanalys 437 07-21;

    Abstract : In order for the aviation industry to meet the targets of the Paris agreement and reach net-zero by 2050, significant amounts of greenhouse-gas emissions are to be reduced. However, as the industry is essentially dependent on conventional jet fuel, it becomes necessary for alternative technologies to develop and phase out fossil-based fuels. READ MORE

  3. 17. New natural gas power plants in the EU : -The risks of stranded assets under different fuel and carbon price scenarios

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

    Author : John Mogren Olsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Current and planned fossil fuelled electricity generation is expected to meet or exceed the global carbon budget for 2°C, without including emissions from any other economic sector. At the current rate, the EU ETS will stop issuing new emissions allowances to industry and power plants before 2040. READ MORE

  4. 18. Improved Modelling For Oxidation Of Zircalloy Fuel Cladding Tubes In PWRs

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Rafaël Bellachia; [2023]
    Keywords : Nuclear Engineering; Corrosion; Zircalloy; PWR; Nuclear Fuel; Kärnteknik; Korrosion; Zircalloy; PWR; Kärnbränsle;

    Abstract : The fuel cladding is an essential component in the defence-in-depth strategy for nuclear safety. Its integrity and durability are therefore critical for maintaining acceptable safety conditions. However, the integrity of the cladding can be compromised during normal operation due to corrosion and hydriding. READ MORE

  5. 19. Conceptual design of the next generation gas turbines : Modelling of a hybrid electric mixed turbofan for a trainer aircraft

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Sophia Fisher; Michael Åkerström; [2023]
    Keywords : Hybrid propulsion; mixed turbofan; parallel configuration; performance;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change, all sectors must contribute their part. Electric propulsion system is a promising approach to reduce emissions from the aviation industry. A major challenge is however the low energy density in today’s battery technology. READ MORE

  6. 20. Look under the Hood: Green Cars - Red Batteries : A human rights approach on the expanded demand of Electric Cars in the run for carbon neutrality and renewable transportation

    University essay from Enskilda Högskolan Stockholm/Avdelningen för mänskliga rättigheter och demokrati
