1. 21. Life Cycle Assessment of Electric Road Systems - Climate impact in comparison with battery electric vehicles, biogas vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Ebba Söderström; Emanuel Bengtsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Electric road systems; Elonroad; life cycle assessment; rail; feed-in station; pick-up; on-board charger; climate impact; global warming potential; articulated lorry; lower medium car; bus; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where vehicles are charged dynamically.

3. 22. Strategies for regional deployment of hydrogen infrastructure : The case of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

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

   Author : Roberto Di Molfetta; [2022]
   Keywords : Hydrogen; Infrastructure rollout; Supply chain pathways; Mobility; Hydrogen buses.;

   Abstract : In response to the growing urge towards decarbonisation, more and more initiatives have been set to reduce and/or compensate the level of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emitted by human activities, which is one of the main responsible of the incumbent threats of “global warming” and “climate change”. “Climate neutrality by 2050” has become a decisive topic for political agendas worldwide and, against that background, the hydrogen economy can play a significant role.

4. 23. Polymerization of isatin towards polymers for anion exchange membranes and gas separation applications

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Simone Facchini; [2022]
   Keywords : organic chemistry; membranes; isatin; polymers; Chemistry;

   Abstract : In a world where the problem of energy resources, pollution and all aspects related to these issues becomes more and more dominant, a greater commitment is needed in the search for solutions. The goal of this project is to make a contribution to the research and development of new materials to reduce the environmental impact in some fields. READ MORE

5. 24. Synthesis and Investigation of Nitrile-Containing Polymers Inspired by Lignin

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Tobias Lindborg; [2022]
   Keywords : Lignin; Polymer; Renewable; Bioresource; Glass transition temperature; Nitrile; Polymer technology; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The lignin-inspired derivatives coniferyl aldehyde and sinapyl aldehyde were used to prepare nitrile-containing methacrylate monomers with the aim to synthesize bio-based polymers exhibiting high glass transition temperatures (Tgs). The aldehydes were initially transformed to the corresponding nitriles and then underwent methacrylation before being polymerised by free-radical polymerisation. READ MORE

6. 25. Phasing out Gas? Implications of the Narratives around Natural Gas for Germany’s Heat Transition in the Building Sector

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Anna Katrin Kraus; [2022]
   Keywords : heat transition; building sector; natural gas; narratives and discourses; lock-in effects; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. READ MORE
