1. 1. Life cycle assessment in the development of forest products : Contributions to improved methods and practices

   Författare :Gustav Sandin; Magdalena Svanström; Greg Peters; Mats Westin; Annica Pilgård; Michael Narodoslawsky; RISE; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; R D; LCA; Life cycle assessment; wood; forest product; forestry; impact assessment; scenario modelling; end-of-life modelling; allocation; multi-functional; planetary boundaries; life cycle inventory; life cycle impact assessment; environmental assessment;

   Sammanfattning : The prospect of reducing environmental impacts is a key driver for the research and development (R&D) of new forest products. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is often used for assessing the environmental impact of such products, e.g. for the purpose of guiding R&D. LÄS MER

3. 2. Environmental Life-cycle Assessment in Microelectronics Packaging

   Författare :Anders Andrae; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System-In-a-Package; microelectronics packaging; data collection; attributional environmental life-cycle assessment; uncertainty analysis; upstream processes; consequential life-cycle assessment; environmental life-cycle inventory; microelectronic products;

   Sammanfattning : An increased understanding of the application of environmental Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies in the microelectronics packaging area should help in developing environmentally sound product systems. The aim of the present thesis is to increase the knowledge of using LCA tools, methods and models, in application to current and new microelectronic products. LÄS MER

4. 3. Assessment of media and communication from a sustainability perspective

   Författare :Åsa Moberg; Göran Finnveden; Maria Enroth; Roland Clift; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electronic media; e-reading device; print media; newspaper; book; invoice; information and communication technology ICT ; environmental assessment; life cycle assessment LCA ; social life cycle assessment S-LCA ; sector analysis; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to assess potential environmental impacts of media and communication and to contribute to the development of methods for sustainability assessment. Although the main focus is on printed and electronic media products and environmental impacts, a broader sector analysis is also included and social aspects are discussed. LÄS MER

5. 4. Environmental Assessment and Strategic Technology Choice : The Case of Renewable Transport Fuels

   Författare :Karl Hillman; Björn Sandén; Ken Green; Göteborg Chalmers Tekniska Högskola Miljösystemanalys Institutionen för energi och miljö; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; environmental assessment; life cycle assessment LCA ; socio-technical change; strategic technology choice; renewable fuels;

   Sammanfattning : The scale of the required changes is huge, and time is limited if we are to avoid the most severe effects of climate change. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road transport, several fuels and electricity originating from renewable energy sources have been proposed, all of them in different stages of development and with various and shifting environmental impacts.

7. 5. Exploring the relevance of uncertainty in the life cycle assessment of forest products

   Författare :Frida Røyne; Mats Tysklind; Stina Jansson; Johanna Berlin; José Potting; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LCA; wood; forestry; uncertainty; biorefinery; industrial symbiosis; allocation; system boundaries; bio-economy; LCA; trä; skogsbruk; osäkerhet; bioraffinaderi; industriell symbios; allokering; systemgränser; bioekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : The role of forest biomass as a replacement for fossil fuels and products is becoming increasingly prominent as a means to mitigate climate change. To guide a sustainable transition towards a forest-based bio-economy, it is important that advantages and disadvantages of forest products are assessed, to ensure that the products deliver environmental impact reduction.
