  2. 1. Land use GHG emissions and mitigation options, simulated by CoupModel

    Author : Hongxing He; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; GHG; CO2; N2O; forest; drained peatland; clay soil; willow; soil nitrate leaching; modeling; CoupModel; GLUE; Land use; mitigation option; cost benefit analysis;

    Abstract : Climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one of the major challenges to the humankind of 21st Century. This thesis focuses on understanding, estimating and suggesting mitigation of the GHG emissions (mainly N2O and CO2) from the land use sector, specifically from forest ecosystems on drained peatlands but also from willow production on agricultural clay soil.

  4. 2. Assessment of Raw Materials in Stainless Steelmaking-Their Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emission

    Author : Wei Wenjing; Anders Tilliander; Peter Samuelsson; Pär Jönsson; Ye Guozhu; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; static process model; mass and energy balance; molybdenum; nickel; phosphorus; stainless steel; life cycle assessment; GHG emission; energy consumption; statisk procesmodell; mass- och energibalans; molybden; nickel; fosfor; rostfritt stål; livscykelanalys; växthusgasutsläpp; energiförbrukning; Metallurgical process science; Metallurgisk processvetenskap;

    Abstract : In stainless steelmaking, around 68% of the total greenhouse gas emissions come from the processing of raw materials. Thus, it is important for steelmakers to make efforts together with their raw material suppliers to implement low-carbon initiatives. To facilitate such initiatives, assessment of raw materials will provide guidance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Corporate and city GHG inventories : Impact on global CO2 emissionswhen considering electricity and CHP-based district heating

    Author : Lena Nordenstam; Björn Karlsson; Louise Ödlund; Danica Djuric Ilic; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : One initiative to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions involves developing standards for GHG inventories. Companies and cities (regions) can use GHG inventories to compile and report their GHG emissions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Gas Exchange over Aquatic Interfaces and its Importance for Greenhouse Gas Emission

    Author : Jovana Kokic; Sebastian Sobek; Erik Sahlée; Marcus B. Wallin; Anne Ojala; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gas exchange; lake; stream; lake sediment; headwaters; carbon dioxide; methane; greenhouse gas emission; carbon; turbulence; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

    Abstract : Aquatic ecosystems play a substantial role in global cycling of carbon (C), despite covering only about 4% of the earth surface. They emit large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) to the atmosphere, comparable to the amount of C stored annually in terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, C can be buried in lake sediments.

  7. 5. System studies of different CO2 mitigation options in the oil refining industry: Post-combustion CO2 capture and biomass gasification

    Author : Daniella Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; process integration; post-combustion CO2 capture. CO2 capture and storage CCS ; GHG emissions; oil refining industry; CO2 emissions; Fischer-Tropsch FT ; biomass gasification; energy market scenarios;

    Abstract : To reach the objective endorsed by the EU Council for reducing EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80-90% compared to 1990 levels by 2050, extensive cuts are necessary in all sectors. The oil refining sector is a major energy user and thus a major GHG emitter. READ MORE
