  1. 1. Techno-economic analysis and simulation of low temperature district heating networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Ilia Iarkov; [2023]
    Keywords : Low-temperature district heating; Modelica; BTES; LCA; LCC; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The continuous increase in global energy consumption has led to a greater focus on the energy required for heating buildings. This thesis presents a techno-economic model for analysing low-temperature district heating networks coupled with a geothermal heat source. READ MORE

  3. 2. Implementing Life Cycle Assessment in the Product Development Process : Creating a simplified LCA-tool to support decision making and implement sustainability as a design parameter

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Markus Johansson; Jonatan Sars; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Design is described as the main factor influencing a product's sustainability, and with industrial growth, global interest in sustainability issues has also increased. Furthermore, the design process is an important part when companies are to reduce climate impact of their products, and that the demand for more environmentally friendly products is increasing.

  5. 4. Cradle-to-Gate LCA of Water Treatment Alternatives : A case study performed for Norrvatten’s future waterwork expansion

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Siddharth Selvarajan; [2021]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; Water purification method; Potable water production; Microbiological barrier; Activated carbon; Sludge separation; Livscykelbedömning; Vattenreningsmetod; Produktion av dricksvatten; Mikrobiologisk barriär; Aktivt kol; Slamavskiljnin;

    Abstract : Norrvatten is a municipal association which owns a water treatment plant capable of supplying good quality drinking water to the consumers in the associated neighbouring municipalities. After preliminary investigations for the future year of 2050, there were estimates which suggest a potential water quality degradation in the lake which supplies the raw water for treatment due to uncertain future climatic conditions and other forms of pollutions from the surrounding.

  6. 5. CCS via Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to Ethylene-based Polymeric Construction Materials

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Christian Taylor; [2021]
    Keywords : CCS; Electrochemical CO2 Reduction; CO2 to Ethylene; Power-to-X; Polymeric Construction Materials; Circular Carbon Economy; Electrolysis; CO2 electroreduction; CCS; Elektrokemisk CO2-reduktion; Koldioxid till Eten; Power-to-X; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial; Cirkulär kolekonomi; elektrolys; CO2-elektroreduktion;

    Abstract : IPCC SR15 rapporterade att alla framtida scenarier för att begränsa klimatförändringen till 1,5°C är starkt beroende av negativa utsläppstekniker, såsom geografisk CO2-lagring som används av Stockholm Exergi’s Värtaverket. Men kan man uppnå starkare klimatvinster genom en cirkulär koldioxidekonomi? Bildandet av en cirkulär koldioxidekonomi är absolut nödvändigt för att uppnå global koldioxidneutralitet, men hur kommer vi dit? Elektrolys av CO2 erbjuder en ekonomiskt och miljömässigt attraktiv väg för att uppgradera CO2-utsläpp till värdefulla bränslen och råvaror, vilket minskar användningen av fossila resurser och CO2-utsläpp till atmosfären.
