1. Stuck in the tar? The implications of Canadian mainstream news media representations of a just [energy] transition from Alberta's bitumen sands
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUSSammanfattning : Alberta’s Tar Sands are one of the most environmentally and socially destructive fossil fuel projects on Earth. Socio-political resistance or acceptance will determine the Tar Sands’ future: whether production continues or whether it is phased out to ensure meaningful climate action in Canada. LÄS MER
2. Cash greens everything around me? Identifying key barriers and drivers for advancing low-carbon investments in Denmark’s finance industry and evaluating the transition efforts of the industry
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUSSammanfattning : Meeting international climate goals require a major reallocation of global investment portfolios. However, in 2016, 74%. of all assets under management were still socially and environmentally unchecked. LÄS MER
3. Solar Concentrating Steam Generation in Alberta, Canada
Master-uppsats, KTH/EnergiteknikSammanfattning : In the context of climate change the world is facing an increasing need to become more environmentally sustainable, and a concerted effort to use renewable energy is required in order to decrease emissions, meet climate goals and prepare for the post-oil era. Solar energy is an area with great potential, and developments in solar energy technologies have increased rapidly. LÄS MER
4. Tjärsandsindustrins miljöpåverkan : Alberta, Kanada
Kandidat-uppsats, Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknikSammanfattning : In Alberta, Canada, amongst its mixture of sand, clay, water and other minerals, the tar sand’s heavy and viscous component bitumen, a thick, sticky form of crude oil is extracted through two methods; open-pit mining for shallower deposits (<75 m), and in situ for deeper deposits (>75 m). This degree project consists of a comparison between these two extraction methods impact on air, nature and water, which all have been evaluated by reviewing and analyzing literature. LÄS MER
5. Learning from the Past - Evaluating Forecasts for Canadian Oil Sands Production with Data
Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik och astronomiSammanfattning : Crude oil plays an important role for the global energy system. As there is ample evidence that conventional oil production will have peaked by 2020, unconventional oil has attained a stronger focus. In particular, oil derived from bitumen from Canadian oilsands has been proposed as a possible remedy to global oil depletion. LÄS MER
