1. Energy systems and urban circularity: evaluating the performance of indicators for district heating and cooling systems according to the circular economy principles
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The circular economy model has been proposed as a possible strategy for sustainable development in urban areas, implying that its core principles need to be cascaded down to various sectors, including the energy sector. District heating and cooling systems have great potential to enhance circularity on an urban level due to the establishment of synergies between different sectors, the incorporation of renewable energy sources and high efficiency.

2. Higher education institutions and sustainable development : A case study of a technological university
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : Today, the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) is education, research, and to contribute to society. The requirement of contributing to society especially requires that the institutions contribute to sustainable development. LÄS MER
3. Linking Energy Planning with the Sustainable Development Goals : The Case of Ghana
Master-uppsats, KTH/EnergiteknikSammanfattning : Infrastructure systems are a key component in national development, as these systems provide essential services that are needed for a society to function, such as energy, food and water. All infrastructure systems have connections to each other, and thus decisions made when investing in one system can affect other systems as well. LÄS MER
4. Quantifying the relationship between the waste footprint and environmental impact of products
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Despite the increasing public awareness about the waste that is created while consuming and disposing of products, the waste created by the raw material extraction and production phases is usually invisible to the consumers. In this respect, a product waste footprint indicator based on the life cycle perspective was recently proposed to address this knowledge gap, offering a better understanding of the environmental consequences of human consumption behaviour.

5. Exploration of implicit weights in composite indicators : The case of resilience assessment of countries’ electricity supply
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Composite indicators, also called indices, are widely used synthetic measures for ranking and benchmarking alternatives across complex concepts. The aim of constructing a composite indicator is, among other things, to simplify and condense the information of a plurality of underlying indicators. LÄS MER
