1. Abiotic and biotic methane dynamics in relation to the origin of life
University dissertation from Stockholm : Department of Geological Sciences, Stockholm UniversityAbstract : Methane (CH4) plays an important role in regulating Earth’s climate. Its atmospheric concentrations are related to both biotic and abiotic processes. The biotic one can be formed either by chemoautotrophic or heterotrophic pathways by methanogens. READ MORE

3. Bimetallic palladium catalysts for catalytic combustion of methane
University dissertation from Stockholm : KemiteknikAbstract : Catalytic combustion is a promising combustion technique in gas turbines, which results in ultra low levels of NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons. Due to the low combustion temperature achieved in catalytic combustion almost no thermal NOx is formed. The focus in this thesis will be on the first stage in a catalytic combustion chamber, i.e. READ MORE

4. Lake Fluxes of Methane and Carbon Dioxide
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are two important greenhouse gases. Recent studies have shown that lakes, although they cover a small area of the globe, can be very important natural sources of atmospheric CH4 and CO2. READ MORE

5. Emission of methane from northern lakes and ponds
University dissertation from Stockholm : Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaperAbstract : Northern lakes and ponds are abundant and emit large amounts of the potent climate forcer methane to the atmosphere at rates prone to change with amplified Arctic warming. In spite of being important, fluxes from surface waters are not well understood. READ MORE
