1. Adding Fuel to the Fire : North-South dynamics in the geographies of transport energy: the case of EU biofuels
Sammanfattning : Since the 2000s, the European Union (EU) has promoted biofuels for transport to achieve climate change mitigation, and rural development in the global South. In contrast, critiques have argued that biofuel promotion impedes more meaningful mitigation while also resulting in dispossession of land and loss of labour opportunities in the global South.

2. The Use of Sustainability Criteria : In the Case of the EU Legislation on Biofuels in the Transport Sector
Sammanfattning : In the licentiate thesis, it is researched and analyzed how sustainability criteria may be used in a legal framework, with the purpose to promote and safeguard sustainable products and their production. The research and analysis are conducted on the basis of the EU approach to use sustainability criteria for biofuels in the transport sector, legally expressed in Directive 2009/28/EC, and its amendments in Directive 2015/1513.

4. Decision support for multi-criteria evaluation of manufacturing reshoring decisions
Sammanfattning : Reshoring decisions in the manufacturing sector have received increasing attention due to their potential to improve overall quality, flexibility, or reduce risk. Contemporary events such as the pandemic and the supply crisis have made manufacturing reshoring decisions a timely and important topic to study. LÄS MER
5. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in different development contexts: A systems approach
Sammanfattning : The continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the global agenda on climate change and threats to energy security have led to increased global interest in the exploration, production and utilisation of bioenergy and biofuels. Access to modern bioenergy carriers derived from the efficient conversion of locally available biomass resources is indispensable for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development in developing countries.
