2. 1. Governing Decarbonisation : The State and the New Politics of Climate Change

   Author : Roger Hildingsson; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; climate politics; the environmental state; decarbonisation; low-carbon transition; energy transformation; authoritative steering; enabling; orchestrating; Sweden;

   Abstract : This dissertation examines the “new climate politics of decarbonisation” and the role of the state as a site for progressive climate action. This new politics concerns transformative social change aimed at moving society away from its current dependence on fossil carbon energy. READ MORE

4. 2. Steel Beyond Coal : Socio-Technical Change and the Emergent Politics of Steel Decarbonisation

   Author : Valentin Vogl; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel; coal; climate change; decarbonisation; socio-technical transitions; sustainability;

   Abstract : The steel industry is responsible for 8% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and is the second largest user of coal after the power sector. The main emission source in steel production is the blast furnace, which converts iron ore and metallurgical coal into pig iron that is then further refined into steel. READ MORE

5. 3. On the road to climate neutral Swedish transportation: Energy system modelling to support the transition at national, regional, and local levels

   Author : Jonas Forsberg; Anna Krook-Riekkola; Andrea Toffolo; Åsa Lindman; Hannah E. Daly; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy transition; Energy system modelling; TIMES-City; TIMES-Sweden; Transportation; Decarbonisation; Climate mitigation; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

   Abstract : Transportation is a critical pillar of modern society. Over the past decades, growth in mobility of people and goods have been both enabled by and dependent upon fossil fuels. Strong action is needed to break this dependence in order to reduce CO2. READ MORE

6. 4. Biobased Combined Heat and Power Production in Sweden – Opportunities for and Challenges to Sustainability from the Plant Operator Perspective

   Author : Malin Pettersson; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; District heating; Biobased economy; Decarbonisation; Combined heat and power plant; Sustainability;

   Abstract : Although combined heat and power (CHP) production in Sweden is already largely decarbonised, this technology has further potential to alleviate pressing environmental concerns. Today, biobased CHP plants connected to district heating (DH) grids dominate the Swedish residential heating sector. READ MORE

7. 5. Decarbonising the Stainless Steelmaking through Alloy Solutions

   Author : Wenjing Wei; Pär Jönsson; Peter Samuelsson; Birat Jean Pierre; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stainless steel; optimization; raw material; process; quality; decarbonisation; rostfritt stål; optimering; material; process; kvalitet; avkarbonisering; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : To reach the goal of the Paris Agreement, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)is becoming one of the most pressing issues in the world today. Unlike most other sectors, thestainless steel industry has a significantly higher burden from upstream emissions comparedto operational emissions. READ MORE
