1. 1. Opposing Attitudes Towards Environmental Taxes: A Price Dilemma? A Case of the Swedish Attitudes on Gasoline Emission Taxes

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Ignacio López Casanueva Arturo; Bergström Martin; [2023-06-29]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates how people’s attitudes toward environmental taxes are shaped and whether changes in end-consumer prices of gasoline have a direct effect on carbon tax perception. A theoretical model is constructed to represent the individual’s choice problem using a utility function. READ MORE

3. 2. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Simon Dahl; [2023]
   Keywords : Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE

4. 3. Gasoline prices effect on public transportation: A study of Chicago : A study of the cross-price elasticity between gasoline prices and public transportation in a metropolitan setting.

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)

   Author : Melker Bergman; [2023]
   Keywords : Cross-price elasticity; ARDL; gasoline prices; public transportation;

   Abstract : This thesis explores the cross-price elasticity of rail and bus usage with gasoline prices. This is done to see how the short-run cross price elasticity has changed and to see if the same long-run relationship can be seen in the long run as previous pooled models. READ MORE

5. 4. Artificial Neural Network in Exhaust Temperature Modelling : Viability of ANN Usage in Gasoline Engine Modelling

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Musa Nibras; Roos Linus; [2022]
   Keywords : Artificial Neural Network; Data-driven Modelling; Engine Modelling; Transient behaviour; Static behaviour; Feed Forward Network; Layer Recurrent Network; NARX; Long Short Term Memory; Gated Recurrent Network; Data processing;

   Abstract : Developing and improving upon a good empirical model for an engine can be time-consuming and costly. The goal of this thesis has been to evaluate data-driven modelling, specifically neural networks, to see how well it can handle training for some static models like the mass flow of air into the cylinder, mean effective pressure and pump mean effective pressure but also for transient modelling, specifically the exhaust gas temperature.

6. 5. Bonus-Malus system impact on the demand for eco-friendly vehicles

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS); Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekonomistyrning och logistik (ELO)

   Author : Abdifatah Adan; Mustafe Ibrahim Abdi; [2022]
   Keywords : Bonus-malus-system; malus; taxes; eco-friendly vehicles; electric car; BEV; Average income; carbon dioxide emissions; gasoline prices.;

   Abstract : Global warming issues are a widespread problem around the world and the emissions of greenhouse gases is one of the main contributors. The transport sector emits a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions; thus, this contributes to global warming. READ MORE
