2. 1. Sustainability Solutions : Lessons on Assessment and Facilitation

   Author : Axel Lindfors; Mats Eklund; Roozbeh Feiz Aghaei; Karl Hillman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Sustainable development is one of the most influential visions guiding future societies. Encompassed within its vision are various domains where improvements are desirable such as, social equity, environmental degradation, climate change. READ MORE

4. 2. Sustainability of rural energy access in developing countries

   Author : Brijesh Mainali; Semida Silveira; Benjamin Sovacool; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Access; Rural electrification; Rural energy; Household; Renewable energy; Off-grid; Mini-grid; Grid; Pathways; Fuel choice; Indicator; Sustainability index; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The importance of access to modern energy has been well understood by governments and donor agencies in many developing countries, and significant effort has been made in recent years to address energy access challenges. However, despite these efforts, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has predicted that the energy access problem will remain unresolved by 2030. READ MORE

   Abstract : Can the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals be reached within the Planetary Boundaries? This licentiate thesis aims to explore this question by navigating towards the safe operating space, as defined by the planetary boundaries, through integrating issues, disciplines, scales, models and stakeholders. The thesis is a milestone within the European Union financed project “Adaptation to a New Economic Reality (AdaptEconII)”. READ MORE

6. 4. Engineering central carbon metabolism with phosphoketolase pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   Author : John Hellgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; precursor supply; transcriptomics; sustainability; non-oxidative glycolysis; Carbon-conservation; metabolic engineering; platform strain; GATHCYC; proteomics;

   Abstract : We need more efficient biocatalysts to make sustainable microbial production of chemicals and fuels more profitable before they can replace petroleum-based sources. Rewiring the metabolic pathways in the biocatalysts to avoid the loss of carbon as CO2 can aid in improving product yields and thereby the profitability of the process. READ MORE

7. 5. The Transformative Imagination : Re-imagining the world towards sustainability
