  2. 11. Systems Analysis for Eco-Industrial Development : Applied on Cement and Biogas Production Systems

    Author : Roozbeh Feiz; Mats Eklund; Jonas Ammenberg; Olli Salmi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; industrial ecology; eco-industrial development; multi-criteria analysis; life-cycle assessment; MCA; LCA; uncertainty management; systems analysis; industrial symbiosis; cement; biogas; cement production; biogas solutions;

    Abstract : Our industrial systems are not sustainable—a major challenge which demands several types of responses. Eco-industrial development can be seen as such a response, with the goal to establish industrial systems that are both ecological and economical. Industrial Ecology is another closely related response. READ MORE

  4. 12. Geometry Optimization of an Interior Permanent Magnet Machine for Electric Vehicles - Life Cycle Cost Minimization for City, Rural and Highway Driving

    Author : Elisabet Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optimization; Finite Element Analysis; Interior Permanent Magnet Machine; Drive Cycles; Life Cycle Cost; Battery Electric Vehicle; Electric Machine Design;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the benefits of customizing an Interior Permanent magnet Machine (IPM) for a specific combination of city, rural and highway driving. Focus lies on the potential to reduce the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of the IPM and power electronic converter, for an example Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), by custom-making the IPM. READ MORE

    Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

  6. 14. Life Cycle Assessment of Paper Based Printed Circuits

    Author : Qiansu Wan; Li-Rong Zheng; Changqing Liu; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Printed Electronics; Environment; PCB; Life Cycle assessment; Emissions; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : Printed circuit boards have been massively manufactured and wildly used in all kinds of electronic devices during people’s daily life for more than thirty years since the last century. As a highly integrated device mainly consists of silicon base, an etched copper layer and other soldered components, massive production of printed circuit boards are considered to be environmentally unfriendly due to the wet chemical manufacturing mode and lack of recycling ability.

  7. 15. Life-Cycle Energy and Carbon Implications of Wood-Based Products and Construction

    Author : Roger Sathre; Leif Gustavsson; Birger Solberg; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; forest products; climate change mitigation; carbon balance; energy; life cycle; wood; land use; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Forests can be an important element of an overall strategy to limit the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) that contributes to climate change. As an integral part of the global carbon cycle, forests remove CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow, and accumulate carbon in tree biomass. READ MORE
