1. 1. Carbon Capture from Biomass Boiler Flue Gas Emissions using Microalgae : A Case Study

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

   Author : Graham Kirn; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is expected to play an important role in climate change mitigation efforts intended to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), in which carbon is captured during energy generation from sustainably sourced biomass fuels, is of particular interest in Sweden. READ MORE

3. 2. Carbon Accounting and SeaweedOffsets : An overview of some current carbon accounting methodologiesand the emerging sector of seaweed carbon offsets

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Alice Rudberg; [2023]
   Keywords : carbon accounting; carbon offsets; carbon credits; blue carbon; seaweed offsets; climate mitigation; sustainability; klimatkompensering; klimatberäking; begränsning av klimatförändringar; alger; tång; hållbarhet;

   Abstract : As the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) have increased and received moreattention, the need for climate mitigation solutions has become more urgent. Today, several methodologies for carbon accounting exists, as well as the possibility to offset emissions by buying carbon offsets. READ MORE

4. 3. Biobased iron pellet production : Assessment of the availability and sustainability of biomass as fuel for iron ore pellet production in LKAB

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

   Author : Magnus Kemi; [2023]
   Keywords : bio-energy; biomass; coal; greenhouse gas emissions; industrial residues; LCA; LKAB; logging residues; iron ore; pellets; sinters; willow; sustainability;

   Abstract : Iron production accounts for substantial shares of global coal use and GHG emissions. LKAB is Europe’s largest iron company and Sweden’s fourth-largest emitter of GHGs. To reduce its emissions, LKAB might implement biomass in iron ore pelletisation. READ MORE

5. 4. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

   Author : Hana Faulds; [2023]
   Keywords : Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.

6. 5. Forest growth under future climate change in the context of bioenergy – case studies of combined heat and power plants in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Chi Yuen Hui; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Climate Change; Ecosystem Modelling; LPJ-GUESS; BECCS; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. READ MORE
