  1. 1. Energy transition in transportation : Applying TIMES-based energy system optimisation models to sub-national levels

    Författare :Jonas Forsberg; Anna Krook-Riekkola; Andrea Toffolo; Åsa Lindman; Krister Sandberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy system analysis; ESOM; Transportation; Climate change; Air quality; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Transportation is embedded in the fabric of society and a key enabler of socio-economic development, but it is also a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) and local air pollution (AP). Cities collectively account for around three quarters of total energy-related CO2 emissions, and the negative health impacts from local APs are most felt in dense urban environments. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Efficient food logistics to reduce the climate impact of transportation: A shipper’s perspective

    Författare :Kristina Liljestrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; food characteristics; shipper; context; product flow; food logistics; climate impact of transportation;

    Sammanfattning : Transportation activities are often highlighted for their climate impact, and one industry that has a significant impact is the food industry. However, reducing the climate impact of transporting food products can be difficult due to the various characteristics of such products, for example temperature regime. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Media processes for content production : Studies of structures and climate impacts

    Författare :Malin Picha Edwardsson; Johan Stenberg; Nils Enlund; Åsa Moberg; Gunnar Nygren; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :media; work processes; content production; LCA; climate impacts; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The business environment in which media companies exist today is rapidly changing. Many media companies are in the process of positioning themselves to this ongoing change and to finding their place in the new media landscape. A process of change creates an opportunity to optimize work processes on different levels. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Climate Impact and Energy Balance of Emerging Biorefinery Systems

    Författare :Hanna Karlsson Potter; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Use of fossil fuels is the main contributor to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Biorefineries, which are facilities that produce a set of valuable products from biomass, have been suggested as alternatives to fossil refineries, for the production of fuels, chemicals and materials.

  7. 5. A Negative Footprint Illusion in Environmental Impact Estimates

    Författare :Mattias Holmgren; Patrik Sörqvist; Ola Eriksson; Maria Ojala; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; The negative footprint illusion; averaging bias; environmental impact estimates; decision-making; climate change; Den negativa fotavtryckillusionen; genomsnittsprocess; miljöpåverkan; beslutsfattande; klimatförändringarna; inget Strategiskt forskningsområde SFO ; no Strategic Research Area SFO ;

    Sammanfattning : A major part of anthropogenic climate change is due to everyday human behavior, such as transportation, food and energy consumption. As a result, it has been argued that many barriers for mitigating climate change are psychological in nature. LÄS MER
