21. CO2 transportation infrastructure and biomass supply systems for carbon capture and storage - A modeling study of Swedish industry
Sammanfattning : Rapid decarbonization of the industrial sector is crucial if the world is to manage to meet the target set in the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to “well below 2°C”. The main technological pathways for achieving a low-carbon industry are the substitution of fossil feedstocks and energy supply with bio-based alternatives, electrification, and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS).

22. An analysis of potential improvements within Lithuanian sawlog supply
Sammanfattning : The wood supply from the forest to the industry is often characterized by high variability caused by the divergent structure of forest products, seasonality and uneven geographical distribution of forest resources and forest products industries. Based on previous knowledge on wood supply this thesis aimed to identify existing wood supply patterns and strategies in the Lithuanian state forest sector, to evaluate supply chain performance for sawmills and to examine potential improvements for roundwood transportation as well as handling operations at the sawmill.

23. Goal conflicts and spillover effects in Swedish environmental policy
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of a summary and four appended papers on conflicts in inter-related goals in Swedish environmental policies and projects. Paper I analyses conflicts between two of these goals Reduced Climate Impact and Sustainable Forests or, more precisely, the conflict between conserving forests and supplying forest fuel. LÄS MER
24. Increased resilience in managed boreal forests : Controlling damage by spruce bark beetle and moose in Sweden
Sammanfattning : Most of the forests growing in Europe today have been planted, or heavily affected, by humans. This is because the forest industry provides crucial raw materials for diverse products, including timber, pulp and paper, cellulose-based substances and renewable energy sources. LÄS MER
25. Biomass Potential for Heat, Electricity and Vehicle Fuel in Sweden
Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis was to determine how far a biomass quantity, equal to the potential produced within the Swedish borders, could cover the present energy needs inSwedenwith respect to economic and ecological circumstances. Three scenarios were studied where the available biomass was converted to heat, electricity and vehicle fuel. LÄS MER
