1. 1. Decarbonization of construction supply chains - Achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the supply chains linked to the construction of buildings and transport infrastructure

   Författare :Ida Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Embodied carbon; Buildings; Emissions reduction; Transport infrastructure; Scenario analysis; Low carbon technology; Carbon abatement; Decarbonization; Construction; Supply chain; Carbon mitigation;

   Sammanfattning : Sweden has committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a net-zero level by Year 2045. In Sweden, about 20% of its annual CO2 emissions are from the manufacture, transport and processing of materials for both the construction and refurbishment of buildings and transport infrastructure.

3. 2. Circularity in Thermal Recycling for Sustainable Carbon Fibers

   Författare :Marina Corvo Alguacil; Roberts Joffe; Tommy Öman; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pyrolysis; carbon fiber; composites recycling; CFRP; polymer composites; sustainability; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera kompositmaterial;

   Sammanfattning : The research field of composite materials is particularly fascinating due to the design freedom they offer and the infinite number of constituent combinations, including those that are already explored, and many more that are yet to be tried. One composite material that holds great potential contains carbon in its fiber shape. LÄS MER

4. 3. Decarbonising plastics – On the technologies and framings of carbon capture and utilisation

   Författare :Ellen Palm; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Plastics; Carbon capture and utilisation; Carbon circularity; Industrial decarbonisation; Climate mitigation; Interdisciplinarity;

   Sammanfattning : Plastics consist of fossil fuels, from both a feedstock and energy perspective and thus need to decarbonise. This thesis maps and explores the framings and technologies that surround plastics decarbonisation and the potential mitigation pathway of carbon capture and utilisation. Here, three of the main findings are presented. LÄS MER

5. 4. Circularity Assessment of Water and Waste in Cities : A Proposed Framework for Sustainable Performance Evaluation using LCA and LCC

   Författare :Kavitha Shanmugam; Venkata Krishna Kumar Upadhyayula; Mats Tysklind; Runar Brännlund; Brajesh Dubey; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Life cycle assessment; life cycle costing; environmental externalities cost; sustainable city; circularity; wastewater treatment; organic waste; waste to energy; assessment framework; environmental science; miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Urbanization is a global phenomenon, happening on a massive scale and at a rapid rate, with 68% of the planet’s population predicted to be living in cities by 2050 (UN-DESA, 2018). The sustainability of a city (Goal 11 of UN SDGs) undergoing rapid urbanization depends on its ability to maintain a low consumption of resources and materials at any given time (referred to as the urban metabolic rate), whilst simultaneously providing essential municipal services to its inhabitants, such as a water supply, wastewater treatment and solid waste management.

7. 5. Carbon materials: towards a circular economy through thermochemical recycling of mixed waste

   Författare :Isabel Cañete Vela; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; plastic waste; circular economy; thermochemical recycling; mixed waste; recycling; Carbon materials; steam cracking;

   Sammanfattning : Carbon-containing materials, such as paper, wood, plastic, and textiles, are essential for our daily lives, being used in everything from clothing to infrastructure. However, their use typically follows a linear pattern, in that we extract carbon resources, create products, and eventually dispose of them, thereby contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the supply chain.
