1. 1. Life cycle assessment of hybrid systems for rural electrification in Bolivia

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Författare :Sandu Seres; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Diesel; Stirling; Photovoltaic; impact category;

   Sammanfattning : Bolivia is a developing country in South America. Many rural communities still lack access to electricity. The extension of the National Grid System to all rural communities is not feasible due to economic and topographic challenges as well as the environmental problems that may arise. To tackle these problems, Off-grid solutions are implemented. LÄS MER

3. 2. Comparison of Miscanthus grass lignin with spruce lignin from organosolv process for nanoparticles production

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Författare :Antonia la Placa; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Lignin; Nanoparticles; Miscanthus; Organosolv;

   Sammanfattning : There is a growing global energy demand and the society is forced to shift towards renewable energy sources due to the depletion of fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable resource available in vast amounts and could therefore have the potential to become a primary source for fuel production. LÄS MER

4. 3. Estimating the Potential Life Cycle Environmental Impacts of Current and Future Electric Passenger Cars

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Författare :Michael Samsu Koroma; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Electric cars; plug-in hybrid; life cycle assessment; ReCiPe indicators; environmental performance; Elbilar; plug-in hybrid; livscykelanalys; ReCiPe-indikatorer; miljöprestanda;

   Sammanfattning : The road transport sector is heavily dependent on fossil-fuel based technologies, and as a result, contribute a significant share towards climate change and other environmental problems. If the transport sector is to reduce its adverse impacts on climate change, then it requires a global shift towards low-carbon technologies. LÄS MER

5. 4. Life Cycle Assessment of a surface radar system : A case study at Saab Electronic Defence Systems

   Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Författare :Isabel Gustafsson; Agnes Rönnblom; [2015]
   Nyckelord :LCA; Case study; Use phase scenario; Operational profiles; Climate change; Fossil depletion; Mineral resource depletion; LCA; Fallstudie; Användningsscenario; Driftsprofiler; Klimatpåverkan; Fossil utarmning; Utarmning av mineraler;

   Sammanfattning : This master thesis was performed with the main purpose of evaluating the environmental performance of a surface radar system with the means of a life cycle assessment, LCA. Saab Electronic Defence Systems, EDS, was the initiator and driver of the project, and is also owner of the radar system evaluated. LÄS MER

7. 5. Running on fossil fumes : the Norwegian Snøvit case of fossil fuel depletion and obstacles for a sustainable transition to renewables

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Författare :Vlad Melnic; [2014]
   Nyckelord :energy governance; fossil fuel resource depletion; long-term sustainability; resource governance; socio-ecological system; sustainability science; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Global dependence on fossil fuels encourages the depletion of non-renewable resources, produces greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately contributes to anthropogenic climate change. Current efforts do not reduce depletion rates of these non-renewable resources despite collective action to improve long-term sustainability of Norwegian energy governance in the Barents Sea. LÄS MER
