1. Deep-Decarbonization of the Industrial Sector through Electrification in France : Analysis of Current Status, Technologies and Policies
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : The increasing scientific awareness around man’s responsibility towards global warming has led to political decisions and actions, in order to try to curb the phenomenon of climate change. As a pioneer in tackling greenhouse gases emissions, Europe is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, with emission reduction targets of -55% by 2030, and Member States have had to make plans to fulfil this goal.

2. Caught in the Lock-In? The Lützerath Decision and the Persistence of Fossil Fuel Hegemony in Germany
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : In 2022 the Russian invasion in Ukraine marked a turning point for global politics. To loosen dependency on Russian gas, the German government came to an agreement with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the energy company RWE. LÄS MER
3. Evaluation of the Industrial Feasibility of Hydrogen Production with Small Modular Reactors : With insights from a case study in Sweden
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : This report conducts an in-depth examination of the potential for Small Modular Reactor (SMR)-based hydrogen production in Sweden's emerging nuclear market. Aligned with Sweden's ambitious targets of achieving carbon dioxide neutrality by 2045 and transitioning its steel and industry sectors to fossil-free production by 2035, the report explores the unique value proposition that a focal company can offer.

4. Towards green EU State aid law? The Guidelines on State aid for Climate, Environmental protection and Energy 2022 in light of the European energy transition
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Juridiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Juridiska fakultetenSammanfattning : The European energy transition entails opportunities to mitigate two of the EU’s most pressing current challenges: climate change and the energy crisis due to the dependency on fossil fuel imports. The EU has committed to limiting global warming to 2°C (preferably 1.5°C), compared to pre-industrial levels. LÄS MER
5. Phasing out Gas? Implications of the Narratives around Natural Gas for Germany’s Heat Transition in the Building Sector
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutetSammanfattning : Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. LÄS MER
