  1. 1. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

    Abstract : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.

  2. 2. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  3. 3. The potential of a bidding zone reconfiguration to foster an expansion of renewable energy production capacity in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik

    Author : Emma Nedstrand; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Effective electricity market design plays an important role in facilitating the transition to a sustainable energy system, and a well-structured electricity market has proven to be crucial in the expansion of renewable energy production capacity. One way of designing the electricity market is by implementing bidding zones, which Sweden did in 2011. READ MORE

  4. 4. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Author : William Blombäck; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

  5. 5. Unveiling the future: Exploring Sweden’s opportunities to transition to an auction-based system for offshore wind.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

    Author : Hanna Savolainen; [2023-08-11]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The energy transition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the Russian Federation’s war on Ukraine has incentivised targets of European independence in the energy market. Offshore wind is deemed an important energy source because technological advancements have made the sector cost-efficient while producing more capacity than before. READ MORE
