1. 11. Modelling Climate Policy – Trade-Off Metrics, Resource Markets, and Uncertainty

   Författare :Daniel Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; OPEC; GWP; energy; uncertainty; biomass; climate change; oil; land use; greenhouse gases; Kyoto Protocol;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of five papers related to climate change policy. In paper I andpaper II we discuss the use of Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) that facilitate the tradeoffbetween abatement of the different greenhouse gases (GHGs). LÄS MER

3. 12. Libertarianism and Climate Change

   Författare :Olle Torpman; Torbjörn Tännsjö; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; libertarianism; self-ownership; rights; individualism; emissions; climate change; boundary-crossing; infringement; compensation; rectification; appropriation; self-defense; future generations; praktisk filosofi; Practical Philosophy;

   Sammanfattning : In this dissertation, I investigate the implications of libertarian morality in relation to the problem of climate change. This problem is explicated in the first chapter, where preliminary clarifications are also made. LÄS MER

4. 13. Carbon sequestration processes in tropical seagrass beds

   Författare :Liberatus Dominick Lyimo; Mats Björk; Martin Gullström; Mariam Hamis; Teresa Alcoverro; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seagrass; Carbon sequestration; Carbon sink; Eutrophication; Productivity; Nitrous oxide; Methane; Greenhouse gases; Tropical; Eastern Africa; Plant Physiology; växtfysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Seagrass meadows may play a substantial role in climate change mitigation as they are capable to sequester and store substantial amounts of anthropogenic carbon in plant biomass and, more importantly, in their underlying sediments. In this PhD thesis, the carbon-burial potential was assessed by quantifying the amount of organic carbon stored in different seagrass meadows, each dominated by one of the four major seagrass species in the Western Indian Ocean region.

5. 14. Climate Change and Industrial Technology Transfer. A Study of Chinese Conditions

   Författare :Joakim Nordqvist; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environment; Emissions; China; Development; Bureaucracy; Cement; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; pollution control; Environmental technology; Technology management; Sustainability; Policy; Energy; Modernisation;

   Sammanfattning : Motivated by concerns about anthropogenic climate change, this thesis contributes to the better appreciation of mechanisms that would allow actors in China, foreign as well as Chinese, to exert a positive influence on the country's industrial technology status. China is the world's second largest emitter of greenhouse gases - the lions' share of which emanates from industrial and electricity production. LÄS MER

7. 15. A methodology to assess impacts of energy efficient renovation : a Swedish case study

   Författare :Ricardo Ramirez Villegas; Ola Eriksson; Thomas Olofsson; Sofia Lidelöw; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Buildings; renovation; greenhouse gases emissions; district heating; energy efficiency; building environmental assessment tools; energy use; heating; Byggnader; renovering; växthusgasutsläpp; fjärrvärme; energieffektivisering; byggnadsmiljöprestanda verktyg; energianvändning; värme; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development; Reesbe företagsforskarskola;

   Sammanfattning : The European Union aims to reduce energy use and CO2-emissions by 40 % by the year 2030. The building sector has been identified as having a great potential to reduce emission of CO2 by increasing its energy efficiency. LÄS MER
