  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. Prospects for standardisation of industrial PET plastics to support the transition towards a circular economy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Agnes Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Standard; standardisation; industrial PET; polyethylene terephthalate; circular economy; plastic; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Plastkonsumtionen har ökat markant över tid och har utvecklats till ett viktigt material i dagens samhälle, men med utmaningen att råvaran främst kommer från fossila källor. Användningen av plast är i linje med den linjära ekonomin och den så kallade slit-och-släng-kulturen, vilket bidrar till felaktig hantering av plastavfall och en ineffektiv användning av resurser.

  4. 3. Investigating the dynamics between the developing Nordic hydrogen market and the electricity system under uncertainty

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Timon Renzelmann; [2024]
    Keywords : energy modelling; energy storage; global sensitivity analysis; hydrogen; Method of Morris; Nordics; OSeMOSYS; uncertainty analysis; energimodellering; energilagring; global känslighetsanalys; vätgas; Morris-metoden; Nordiska länder; OSeMOSYS; osäkerhetsanalys;

    Abstract : The potential of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier is hotly debated, but it promises to significantly contribute to a sustainable energy future. Hydrogen can replace fossil fuels in carbon-intensive industries, heavy transport and aviation, and support a renewable energysystem by acting as energy storage to balance intermittent supply.

  5. 4. Carbon Accounting and SeaweedOffsets : An overview of some current carbon accounting methodologiesand the emerging sector of seaweed carbon offsets

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Alice Rudberg; [2023]
    Keywords : carbon accounting; carbon offsets; carbon credits; blue carbon; seaweed offsets; climate mitigation; sustainability; klimatkompensering; klimatberäking; begränsning av klimatförändringar; alger; tång; hållbarhet;

    Abstract : As the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) have increased and received moreattention, the need for climate mitigation solutions has become more urgent. Today, several methodologies for carbon accounting exists, as well as the possibility to offset emissions by buying carbon offsets. READ MORE

  6. 5. CCU in Scandinavia: an uncertainty analysis regarding the future state of captured carbon in the region.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Marta Gebellí Carrasco; William Melander; [2023]
    Keywords : CCU; E-kerosene; Precast concrete; CO2 utilization; Scandinavian region; Defossilization; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The urgent need to mitigate climate change has prompted researchers to investigate novel strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One promising technology that might ease the way for sustainable and circular economies is carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which not only captures CO2 emissions but also uses them to produce valuable products.
