  1. 16. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in Nepal

    Författare :Dilip Khatiwada; Semida Silveira; Andrew Martin; Björn Karlsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioethanol; sustainability; life cycle assessment; net energy values; greenhouse gas GHG balances; sustainable development; least developed countries LDCs ; Nepal; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik; Climatology; Klimatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Access to modern energy services derived from renewable sources is a prerequisite, not only for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development, but also for energy security and climate change mitigation. The least developed countries (LDCs) primarily use traditional biomass and have little access to commercial energy sources. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This thesis has two main objectives. The first is to analyse the potential of existing assessment tools and methods to incorporate the different dimensions of sustainability in an assessment. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Industrial Milk Production

    Författare :Merete Høgaas Eide; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dairy; cleaning; sustainability; packaging; LCA; Life Cycle Assessment; toxicity; milk;

    Sammanfattning : Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was applied to milk production and processing in a study of the Norwegian dairy industry. This method, LCA, is used to assess the potential environmental impact of a material, product or service throughout its entire life cycle, from the extraction of the raw materials, the production process, and the user phase, to the final disposal.

  5. 19. Life cycle assessment of electric vehicle batteries and new technologies

    Författare :Mats Zackrisson; Magnus Wiktorsson; Martin Kurdve; Christina Jönsson; Anders Nordelöf; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment; LCA; electric vehicle; sustainability; eco-design; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Sammanfattning : Electrification of vehicles has for decades been explored as a possible solution to the problem of climate change. Today, in 2021, the issue is no longer whether the electrification of vehicle fleets ought to happen but rather how it can be achieved with as little environmental impact as possible. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Towards Sustainable Construction: Life Cycle Assessment of Railway Bridges

    Författare :Guangli Du; Raid Karoumi; Håkan Sundquist; Helge Brattebo; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Life cycle assessment; LCA; Environment; Railway Bridge; Sustainability; Järnvägsgruppen - Infrastruktur; Järnvägsgruppen - Infrastruktur;

    Sammanfattning : Since last few decades, the increased pressure from the environmental issues of natural resource depletion, global warming and air pollution have posed a great challenge worldwide. Among all the industrial fields, bridge infrastructures and their belonged construction sector contribute to a wide range of energy and raw materials consumptions, which is responsible for the most significant pollutions.
