  1. 1. Climate Impact of Wind Turbine Production : Emissions from Material and Energy Usage for Onshore and Offshore Wind Turbines

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

    Author : Joel Arnelo; Maria Kolte; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind turbine production; Wind turbine components; Onshore and Offshore wind power; Wind power climate impact; Produktion av vindkraftverk; Vindkraftverk komponenter; Landbaserad och havsbaserad vindkraft; Klimatpåverkan vindkraft;

    Abstract : Wind power is a renewable energy source that is making great strides in the global energy sector. While wind power is a renewable energy source, it is not entirely free from carbon emissions. This is because the production of wind turbines is dependent on the use of energy, and as a result can emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. READ MORE

  3. 2. Material Supply Risks for the Energy Transition: A Quantitative Analysis of Resources, Production Concentration and Geopolitical Risks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ria Pozybill; [2022]
    Keywords : Sustainable development; Critical minerals; Geopolitical risks; Cobalt; Rare earths; Lithium;

    Abstract : The Paris Agreement aims to limit the global temperature to below 2°C above the pre-industrial level. In order to achieve this target, almost 200 countries committed to Nationally Determined Contributions to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Diverse strategies are applied to achieve the necessary emissions reductions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Global growth and stagnation of nuclear power - A case of diffusion of a new energy technology in a heterogenous system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Johan Jacobsson; [2021]
    Keywords : technology diffusion; energy transitions; growth modelling; nuclear power; low-carbon technologies; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement requires acceleration of low-carbon energy transitions. At the same time, it is not fully understood why some technologies spread more rapidly and widely than others. READ MORE

  5. 4. Extraction for the Green Transition: An Eco-Marxist actor analysis of lithium governance in Bolivia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Julian Dannefjord; [2021]
    Keywords : Bolivia; lithium; extractivism; climate change; energy transition; actor analysis; Eco-Marxism; John Bellamy Foster; metabolic rift; ecological imperialism; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : Bolivia holds among the biggest reserves of lithium in the world. Lithium-ion batteries are essential components in electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines, and are therefore crucial for a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Meanwhile, the extraction process of lithium can cause large environmental damage. READ MORE

  6. 5. Cost benefit analysis of wind and hydro power CDM projects in China

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Chunyan Shao; [2020]
    Keywords : CDM projects; cost-benefit analysis; net social benefit;

    Abstract : Renewable Energy (RE) is a solution to solve the Chinese energy problem of increasing demand for energy with high pollution resulting from fossil-fuel energy. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows China to implement an emission-reduction project, such as wind and hydro power projects, which account for a large share in all renewable energy projects.
