  1. 1. Survival of the Unfit : Path Dependence and the Estonian Oil Shale Industry

    Författare :Rurik Holmberg; Staffan Laestadius; Mats Bladh; Mats Söderström; Nick von Tunzelmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Estonia; oil shale; path dependence; lock-in; institutions; knowledge; Sweden; innovation; Soviet Union; technology; systems; energy; shale oil; electricity; fossil fuel; environment; economy; Technology and social change; Teknik och social förändring;

    Sammanfattning : Estonia is the only country in the world, which is totally dependent on oil shale in its energy system. Although this fossil fuel exists in enormous quantities around the world, it has so far not been utilized on a larger scale. The reasons for this have been both economic and, in recent times, ecological. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fossil Capital : The Rise of Steam-Power in the British Cotton Industry, c. 1825-1848, and the Roots of Global Warming

    Författare :Andreas Malm; Humanekologi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Fossil economy; steam-power; water-power; cotton industry; Britain; capital accumulation; global warming;

    Sammanfattning : The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels are burnt in the world. How did we get caught up in this mess? This thesis returns to a crucial moment in the emergence of the fossil economy: the rise of steam-power. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cost and financing of the sustainability transition of the Swedish road freight transport sector

    Författare :Elmira Parviziomran; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Godstransporter; Hållbar utveckling; Fossila bränslen; Fordon; Kostnader; Finansiering; Batterier; Sustainable development; Electric batteries; Vehicles; Freight and freightage; Fossil fuels; Sustainability transition; Decarbonization; Heavy-duty vehicles; Cost; Financing; Battery; Circular economy; Diesel fuels;

    Sammanfattning : The cost and financing of the road freight sector’s sustainability transition, driven by significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and cost considerations, represent an urgent yet underexplored research focus. This study investigates the costs of fleet replacement with zero-emission powertrains, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), emphasizing cost variables that have been overlooked in transition research.

  5. 4. 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; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; circular economy; recycling; mixed waste; thermochemical; carbon materials;

    Sammanfattning : Carbon materials, such as paper, wood, plastic and textiles, play an important role in our everyday life, from clothes and packaging to infrastructure. However, the use of those materials follows a linear way. We take carbon resources, we make products, and we discharge them in a short amount of time, producing GHG emissions along its supply chain.

  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.
