  1. 1. Wetland restoration on Öland : a short-term evaluation of vascular plant community composition after topsoil removal and reinstated grazing

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Marta Holmlund; [2023]
    Keywords : wetland restoration; vegetation; biodiversity; topsoil removal; Ellenberg indicator values;

    Abstract : Wetlands are recognized as important types of ecosystems, inhabiting rich biodiversity and performing multiple ecosystem services. However, many have been lost because of anthropogenic activities and a majority of the remaining wetland habitats are in bad conditions, displaying both loss of functionality and biodiversity.

  2. 2. Operating procedures and evaluation of a carbon capture pilot plant

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Isac Logeke; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon Capture and Storage; CCS; AMP DMSO; amine absorption; pilot plant; operating procedures; chemical engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The rise in global emissions of carbon dioxide and the need for new technologies to combat climate change has prompted extensive research into carbon capture methods. This master thesis focuses on a novel carbon capture absorption technology, developed at Lund University, that utilizes the amine 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in the organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to capture CO2.
