1. 21. Stories of Change: Alternative Food Networks in the Urban Setting of Zurich

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

   Author : Patricia Catherine Schmid; [2021]
   Keywords : Food systems; alternative food networks; agriculture; sustainability; good living; food sovereignty; pluriverse; Zurich; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Food is political: from seed over production to distribution and consumption. Large scale agriculture infused multi-layered social, ecological, and economic issues. The need to change the dominant food system approach is widely recognised. Alternatives in food production and distribution emerged and persisted over time. READ MORE

3. 22. Techno-economic Analysis and Market Potential Study of Solar Heat in Industrial Processes : A Fresnel Direct Steam Generation case study

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

   Author : Guillermo de Santos López; [2021]
   Keywords : Solar heat in industrial processes; techno-economic analysis; market potential; direct steam generation; Fresnel technology;

   Abstract : The industrial sector not only has a big contribution to global emissions but also a low share of renewable energy for heat demand. Knowing that most of the energy consumption in industry is heat and that half of it is at medium-low temperature (below 400 ºC), it is a great market for the integration of solar thermal technologies.

4. 23. Closed ecological life support systems : cycling of carbon, nitrogen and water

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Author : Hugo Persson; [2020]
   Keywords : closed ecological system; cycling; closure; life support; biosphere; CEEF; MELiSSA; Biosphere 2; bioregenerative; CELSS; environmental;

   Abstract : Materially closed life support systems containing biological components that provide atmosphere, food and water for a human crew has been investigated for use in space travel since the 1960s. The internal cycling of organic material is the essence of these systems and their design and function is the question at issue for this thesis, which has been conducted as a literature study.

5. 24. Azelio’s Thermal Battery for Combined Heat and Power : A Thermo-economic and Market Research Study

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

   Author : Martin Lantz; [2020]
   Keywords : Carnot battery systems; thermal energy storage; techno economic analysis; market review;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to assess the market opportunities for two novel Carnot battery system solutions, one supplying power and low temperature heat as well as a system supplying medium temperature heat exclusively. To fulfill the objective, a methodology was developed and implemented to investigate the market potential, further two techno-economic models were developed and utilized to investigate the performance of such Carnot battery solutions.

6. 25. Challenges in food system development for deep space missions

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Tor Blomqvist; [2020]
   Keywords : space food; deep space; microgravity; Mars; space food systems; bioregenerative food systems; food processing;

   Abstract : With a reinvigoration of space travel, space agencies around the world collaborate to land the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024, establish a moonbase with a constant human lunar presence by 2028 and bring humans to Mars by 2030. Even though we may have the technology to bring humans to Mars, we do not have the required food systems and the food technology to sustain them. READ MORE
