1. Watt’s next? On socio-technical transitions towards future electricity system architectures
Sammanfattning : In the effort to fight climate change, the electricity systems around the world are undergoing a transformation towards being based on renewable sources of energy. The criterion of one hundred per cent renewables can, however, be satisfied in several radically different ways, varying from global or continental super grids via local smart-grids to self-sufficient off-grid communities and households of electricity prosumers.

2. An Empirical Investigation of Microservices-based Software Architectures from a Socio-Technical Perspective
Sammanfattning : Background: As software systems grow, software organizations turn towards Microservices-based Software Architectures (MSAs) seeking modularity, service orientation, and cloud-based software delivery. Microservices are a way of structuring software systems into loosely coupled pieces that: 1) are developed and operated independently, 2) communicate and integrate with each other to compose a system, and 3) each piece has its individual business domain and resources.

3. Steel Beyond Coal : Socio-Technical Change and the Emergent Politics of Steel Decarbonisation
Sammanfattning : The steel industry is responsible for 8% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and is the second largest user of coal after the power sector. The main emission source in steel production is the blast furnace, which converts iron ore and metallurgical coal into pig iron that is then further refined into steel. LÄS MER
4. Enabling socio-technical transitions – electric vehicles and high voltage electricity grids as focal points of low emission futures
Sammanfattning : Today humankind is facing numerous sustainability challenges that require us to question CO2 intensive practices like those present in the transport and energy sector. To meet those challenges, many countries have adopted ambitious climate targets. Achieving such targets requires an understanding of the wider socio-technical context of transitions. LÄS MER
5. Environmental Assessment of Emerging Technologies: The Case of Alternative Transport Fuels
Sammanfattning : There are several methods to evaluate the environmental performance of new technologies. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the methodological development of environmental assessments, with contributions from life-cycle assessment (LCA), theories on technical change and socio-technical scenarios.
