12. Small-Scale Production of Fuel-Cell Hydrogen
Sammanfattning : The work presented here aims at producing hydrogen for proton-exchange fuel-cell applications from hydrocarbons. This thesis describes an integrated catalytic converter comprising a steam-reforming reactor (heat of reaction supplied by catalytic combustion), a water-gas shift reactor and a preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide reactor, and the work performed on the fuel processing catalysts therein.

13. Climate impact of the sustainable use of forest biomass in energy and material system : a life cycle perspective
Sammanfattning : Human society releases greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere while providing housing, heat, mobility and industrial production. Man-made greenhouse gas emissions are the main causes of climate change, coming mainly from burning fossil fuels and land-use changes. LÄS MER
14. Two studies on fuel choice in power generation
Sammanfattning : This dissertation consists of two studies, both related to the impacts of economic and political factors on fuel choice in electric power generation. The primary purpose of the first study is to estimate the degree of price-induced interfuel substitution between three fossil fuels in West European power generation. LÄS MER
15. The Rôle of Side-Chains in Polymer Electrolytes for Batteries and Fuel Cells
Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis relates to the design of new polymer electrolytes for battery and fuel cell applications. Classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) modelling studies are reported of the nano-structure and the local structure and dynamics for two types of polymer electrolyte host: poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) for lithium batteries and perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) for polymer-based fuel cells.
