    Abstract : Information and communication technology (ICT) is playing an important role in modern society, contributing to economic growth and affecting society and people’s lifestyles. There are high expectations on ICT to contribute to sustainable development, e.g. through greenhouse gas emissions reductions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Environmental Considerations in the Zero-waste Valorisation of Bauxite Residue : A Life Cycle Perspective

    Author : Peter James Joyce; Anna Björklund; Hellweg Stefanie; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; bauxite residue; waste valorisation; Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials NORM ; Life Cycle Thinking; LCA software; Circular Economy; Livscykelanalys LCA ; bauxitrest; avfallsvalorisering; naturligt förekommande radioaktiva ämnen NORM ; livscykeltänkande; LCA-programvara; cirkulär ekonomi; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Abstract : Bauxite residue, also known as red mud, is produced in large quantities as a result of alumina refining (the first stage in aluminium production), and is one of the world’s most abundant and important industrial wastes. As demand for aluminium continues to increase and space to store this residue diminishes, the potential to utilise bauxite residue as a secondary resource is increasingly being considered by the alumina industry.

  5. 3. LCA and LCCA in the design of geotechnical engineering works

    Author : Ida Samuelsson; Stefan Larsson; Johan Spross; Rasmus Rempling; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Assessment; Life Cycle Cost Analysis; climate impact; costs; geotechnical engineering; Livscykelanalys; Livscykelkostnadsanalys; klimatpåverkan; kostnader; geoteknik; Soil and Rock Mechanics; Jord- och bergmekanik;

    Abstract : Geotechnical engineering works are part of almost all construction and infrastructure projects. The geotechnical engineering work contributes to the impact on the environment and gives rise to costs throughout its life cycle. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of biobased building materials in the climate impacts of construction : Effects of increased use of biobased materials in the Swedish building sector

    Author : Diego Peñaloza; Magnus Wålinder; Martin Erlandsson; Andreas Falk; Johanna Berlin; Dimitris Athanassiadis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LCA; timber buildings; timber bridges; biobased building materials; dynamic LCA; climate change mitigation; building stock; scenario analysis; biogenic carbon; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : A significant share of the global climate change impacts can be attributed to the construction sector. One mitigation strategy is increasing the use of biobased materials. Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used to demonstrate the benefits of this, but forest complexities create uncertainty due to omission of key aspects. READ MORE

  7. 5. Environmental Impacts of ICT: Present and Future

    Author : Yevgeniya Arushanyan; Åsa Moberg; Anna Björklund; Ulrika Gunnarsson Östling; Roland Hischier; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Information and communication technology ICT ; Life cycle assessment LCA ; environmental impacts; online media; future scenarios; assessment methodology; Informations- och kommunikationsteknologi IKT ; livscykelanalys LCA ; miljökonsekvenser; online media; framtidsscenarier; bedömningsmetod; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Abstract : ICT is developing rapidly and is playing an increasingly important role in society. High expectations are placed on ICT in relation to sustainable development. In order to provide basis for decision-making and ensure that ICT is used in the best possible way for enabling sustainable development, the sustainability impacts of ICT need to be studied. READ MORE
