2. 1. Energy transition in transportation : Applying TIMES-based energy system optimisation models to sub-national levels

   Author : Jonas Forsberg; Anna Krook-Riekkola; Andrea Toffolo; Åsa Lindman; Krister Sandberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy system analysis; ESOM; Transportation; Climate change; Air quality; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : Transportation is embedded in the fabric of society and a key enabler of socio-economic development, but it is also a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) and local air pollution (AP). Cities collectively account for around three quarters of total energy-related CO2 emissions, and the negative health impacts from local APs are most felt in dense urban environments. READ MORE

4. 2. Recirculation of scrapped resources : The role of material information in enhancing the sustainability of recycling

   Author : Reinol Josef Compañero; Andreas Feldmann; Peter Samuelsson; Pär Jönsson; Guozhu Ye; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel recycling; anthropogenic resources; scrap; value of information; Circular Economy; sustainability; Stål återvinning; antropogena resurser; skrot; cirkulär ekonomi; hållbarhet; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : Industries have responded to the climate change problem by positioning their activities as compatible with concepts such as the Circular Economy. Conveying the idea of maximizing and keeping the resources in a manner that aligns with the principles of sustainable development, the endorsements for implementing circularity measures has arguably become a boon for businesses.

5. 3. Sustainability Transitions in Established Industries : The case of European Commercial Transport Vehicles

   Author : Behbood Borghei; Thomas Magnusson; Lars Coenen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sociotechnical transitions; Multilevel Perspective; System Innovations; Environmental Innovation; Systems of Innovation; Institutions; Environmental policy; Environmental regulation;

   Abstract : With the increasing trends in trade of goods and services as well as the expansion of road infrastructure and networks, commercial road transport has dominated a significant share of inland and urban logistics in the world and particularly in Europe. This includes not only the basic supply of citizens’ needs through long-haul traffic and short-distance city trucks but also by providing urban services such as courier delivery, household waste  pickup and refuse collection as well as passengers movements by public bus transport and inter-city coach transit.

6. 4. Modelling and Simulating Demand-Responsive Transport

   Author : Sergei Dytckov; Jan A. Persson; Paul Davidsson; Erik Jenelius; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; On-Demand Mobility; Demand Responsive Transport; Modelling and Simulation; Sustainability;

   Abstract : Public transport is an efficient way to transport large volumes of travellers. However, there are systemic issues that make it hard for conventional public transport to provide efficient service on finer levels, like first- and last-mile problems or low-demand areas. READ MORE

7. 5. A comparative cost analysis of conventional wrought steel and powder metallurgy (PM) gear manufacturing technologies
