    Abstract : This thesis is about whether it is a good idea to place monetary value on nature, to remedy the fact that we treat it as having no particular value to us humans, although it clearly has. The thesis is based on five research papers that can be said to position themselves on opposite sides in the debate on monetisation of nature. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cost-effective fuel choices in the transportation sector under stringent CO2-emission reduction targets - Global energy systems modelling

    Author : Maria Grahn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
