2. 6. Fictitious Carbon, Fictitious Change? : Environmental Implications of the Commodification of Carbon

   Author : Wim Carton; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; commodification; climate change policy; emissions trading; market instruments; environmental geography;

   Abstract : Governments increasingly rely on the use of market instruments to tackle climate change and help decarbonize a deeply fossil fuel-dependent economy. This dissertation examines this trend as one instance of the ‘commodification of carbon’, or the process through which emission reductions are made into commodities and then traded on the market.

4. 7. Swedish district heating systems and a harmonised European energy market : means to reduce global carbon emissions

   Author : Jörgen Sjödin; Sven Werner; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Energy systems in Europe are becoming more harmonised and the European Union is working to establish a single market for energy. In this thesis, it is therefore regarded as a system failing to consider a separate and isolated Swedish energy system. Extending the system boundaries enables increased resource efficiency.

5. 8. Exploring the Transition to a Low-Carbon Electricity System — Using Agent-Based Modeling

   Author : Jinxi Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; investment decisions; agent-based modeling; energy system modeling; open-source model; electricity market; low-carbon transition;

   Abstract : The ability to produce electricity has profoundly shaped human lives. Over time, the sources used for electricity generation have undergone several transitions. Currently, we are navigating a pivotal shift in the electricity system – decarbonization – a journey fraught with a myriad of challenges. READ MORE

6. 9. Circularity in Thermal Recycling for Sustainable Carbon Fibers

   Author : Marina Corvo Alguacil; Roberts Joffe; Tommy Öman; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pyrolysis; carbon fiber; composites recycling; CFRP; polymer composites; sustainability; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera kompositmaterial;

   Abstract : The research field of composite materials is particularly fascinating due to the design freedom they offer and the infinite number of constituent combinations, including those that are already explored, and many more that are yet to be tried. One composite material that holds great potential contains carbon in its fiber shape. READ MORE

7. 10. Green growth and rapid decarbonisation? : Assessing policy objectives, instrument choice and behavioural mechanisms

   Author : Jonas Sonnenschein; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Climate change; Mitigation; Policy; Carbon pricing; Green growth; Market failures; Behavioural insights;

   Abstract : After the 2008/2009 global financial crisis, significant policy and scientific attention has been given to ‘green growth’, which aims at the concurrent achievement of economic growth and GHG emissions reductions via de-coupling. Despite ambitious aims, there is a lack of empirical knowledge about the effects and the potential of green growth climate mitigation policies. READ MORE
