   University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för industriell ekonomi

   Author : Jarno Hassinen; Robin Brink; [2022]
   Keywords : Renewable energy; diffusion; competitiveness; floating offshore wind technology; FOWT;

   Abstract : Background: This research work takes a strong sustainability approach with the focus on renewable energy technology (RET) diffusion to meet the multifold and complex challenges with CO2 emission targets and geopolitical energy challenges. Global warming, sustainability issues and significant energy crises, suggests that RET is seen as one of the most important solutions to deal with these challenges. READ MORE

3. 27. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF ALTERNATE FIBRES FOR SHOTCRETE IN TUNNELS

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Shilpa Anand; [2022]
   Keywords : Shotcrete; Life cycle assessment; Environmental Product Declaration; Global warming potential; steel; basalt and synthetic fibres; flexural strength; energy absorption.;

   Abstract : Tunnels in hard and jointed rock are normally excavated in an arch shape to enable the rock mass to support its weight. Since the beginning of the 1980's, fibre reinforced shotcrete (FRS) in combination with rock bolts have been the dominating support method for hard rock tunnels. READ MORE
