  2. 1. Biodiversity Protection in an Aspiring Carbon-Neutral Society : A Legal Study on the Relationship between Renewable Energy and Biodiversity in a European Union Context

    Author : Melina Malafry; Gabriel Michanek; Maria Pettersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Environmental law; nature protection; renewable energy; biodiversity protection; environmental impact assessment; Miljörätt; Environmental Law;

    Abstract : There is a vision in the EU for a transition to a low carbon society, including a carbon-neutral energy system, containing a high share of renewable energy. However, this vision is not isolated from other political goals, such as halting the loss of biodiversity by 2020. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cost-effective fuel and technology choices in the transportation sector in a future carbon constrained world: Results from the Global Energy Transition (GET) model

    Author : Maria Grahn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy prices; CSP; CO2 emissions; hydrogen; CCS; carbon tax; biomass; carbon leakage; liquid biofuels; global energy systems modeling; transportation; passenger vehicles;

    Abstract : This thesis analyzes future fuel and technology choices focusing on transport in a carbon constrained world. The analysis tool used in all five appended papers is the cost-minimizing Global Energy Transition (GET) model. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spatial and temporal dynamics of subarctic birch forest carbon exchange

    Author : Michal Heliasz; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mountain birch; eddy covariance; carbon budget; insect outbreak; forest expansion; temporal variability; spatial variability;

    Abstract : High northern latitudes are of special importance for the global carbon budget as they store large amounts of organic matter in the soil and are expected to be the most strongly affected by climate change. Here we investigate carbon exchange in the subarctic mountain birch forest growing on the limit where tree growth is possible. READ MORE

  6. 4. Carbon Sink or Energy Source : Economic perspectives on future uses of forest resources in Sweden

    Author : Carl Nolander; Robert Lundmark; Ljusk Ola Eriksson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Abstract Forests and the resources they offer have been important for the Swedish economy for a long time, and the forest industry remains a large part of the manufacturing industry even as the economy is becoming more service-based. Forests are also increasingly seen as an important source of biofuels that can be used to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and to reach the target for a carbon neutral economy by the year 2050.
