1. 1. Green Numbers in Grey Areas: A study on what methods credit analysts use to integrate incomplete ESG data in the credit rating process

   C-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering

   Författare :Erik Voss-Schrader; Gustav Ryhre; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Credit; Debt; Rating; ESG; Epistemic;

   Sammanfattning : In response to the urgent need to address global warming, this study investigates the efforts of two credit rating agencies (CRAs), Aries and Orion, to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their financial analyses amidst challenges posed by inconsistent and unstandardized data. Based on interviews with nine CRA representatives and Knorr Cetina's theory of epistemic cultures, the present study reveals the difficulties faced by the CRAs with directly linking ESG factors to credit ratings.

3. 2. Life Cycle Assessment : a comparison of fossil energy use and climate impact on small scale manufacturing and large scale conventional manufacturing of textile toys

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

   Författare :Malin Henriksen; [2024]
   Nyckelord :textile toy; LCA; energy use; sustainable production; China; Sri Lanka; cotton production; fossil fuel use; GWP100;

   Sammanfattning : This study conducts a Life Cycle Assessment to compare the environmental impacts, specifically climate impact and fossil fuel use, of textile toys produced in China and Sri Lanka. Through evaluating large-scale industrial production in China against small-scale, handcrafted production in Sri Lanka, it identifies the considerable environmental footprint of cotton production in both scenarios.

4. 3. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

   Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Författare :Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
   Nyckelord :Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

   Sammanfattning : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. LÄS MER

5. 4. The implications of heavy fuel oil ban in arctic waters for sustainable arctic shipping

   Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

   Författare :Kaung Thu; [2023-01-23]
   Nyckelord :Arctic region; heavy fuel oil; shipping; Sustainable;

   Sammanfattning : The increased temperature in the polar regions is one of the significant impacts of global warming and consequential climate change. In the Arctic, regional warming leads to the accelerated loss of sea ice caps, which has opened up new international shipping routes. LÄS MER

7. 5. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Författare :Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. LÄS MER
