  1. 21. Climate Impact of Wind Turbine Production : Emissions from Material and Energy Usage for Onshore and Offshore Wind Turbines

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

    Author : Joel Arnelo; Maria Kolte; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind turbine production; Wind turbine components; Onshore and Offshore wind power; Wind power climate impact; Produktion av vindkraftverk; Vindkraftverk komponenter; Landbaserad och havsbaserad vindkraft; Klimatpåverkan vindkraft;

    Abstract : Wind power is a renewable energy source that is making great strides in the global energy sector. While wind power is a renewable energy source, it is not entirely free from carbon emissions. This is because the production of wind turbines is dependent on the use of energy, and as a result can emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. READ MORE

  3. 22. Buying carbon neutrality? : Corporate motives for financing carbon offsets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Dennis Schmuck; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon Offsets; Carbon Credits; Climate Change; Sustainable Development;

    Abstract : Carbon offsets are often presented as a multi-beneficial way for companies to mitigate their net climate impact while contributing environmental and social benefits on a global and local scale. Critics argue it is used to avoid more meaningful alterations to a company's own operations. READ MORE
