1. 6. Leveraging green hydrogen to decarbonise the aviation industry : A case study on electrofuels in Sweden

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

   Author : Jakob Bergene; Jonathan Bruchhausen; [2023]
   Keywords : Electrofuel; e-fuel; electrokerosene; e-kerosene; SAF; sustainable aviation fuel; sustainable aviation; complementarity formation mechanisms; technology value chains; TVC; Techno-economic analysis; TEA; Elektrobränsle; e-bränsle; elektrofotogen; e-fotogen; SAF; sustainable aviation fuel; sustainable aviation; komplementära formationsmekanismer; technology value chains; TVC; Techno-economic analysis; TEA;

   Abstract : For the EU to reach its 2050 climate targets the aviation industry that is highly dependent on fossil fuels needs to drastically reduce its emissions. In the decarbonisation of the aviation industry drop-in sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) have been identified as a promising solution to abate the industry’s emissions. READ MORE

3. 7. Extreme renovation of concrete buildings

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Simon Hardo; Daniel Maher; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The global climate crisis and the need to reduce carbon emissions have brought attention to the construction and real estate sector, which has a significant environmental footprint. However, many real estate developers opt for demolition and new construction instead of renovating existing buildings due to challenges such as low floor heights and stringent sustainability requirements.

4. 8. Development and evaluation of solar heating solutions for Villages in the highlands of Peru

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

   Author : Tom Rupert Göransson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In the Peruvian highlands, hundreds of thousands of people live in dwellings that are completely unheated. In this climate, nighttime indoor temperatures during the winter could be as low as 0°C. Indoor cold can cause thousands of respiratory diseases and increase winter mortality. READ MORE

5. 9. Design and construction of an access concept for a tow bar mounted cargo box : Analysis and development of the user experience

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