2. 1. Government vs Market in Sustainable Residential Development? : Microdata analysis of car travel, CO2 emission and residence location

   Author : Xiaoyun Zhao; Johan Håkansson; Kenneth Carling; Stefan Schönfelder; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Allmänt Mikrodataaanalys - transporter; General Microdata Analysis - transports;

   Abstract : Increasing car usage and travel demands between residential locations and destinations in order to fulfill the various needs of residents is a primary cause of CO2 emissions. To win the battle against climate change, a better understanding of the question relating to which urban residential form may most effectively mitigate the CO2 emissions is the key pathway.

4. 2. Bio-coal for the sustainable industry : A scientific approach to optimizing production, storage, and usages

   Author : Aekjuthon Phounglamcheik; Kentaro Umeki; Markus Broström; Capucine Dupont; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

   Abstract : Bio-coal produced from biomass is a promising material to replace fossil coal in order to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emission from the industrial sector. Bio-coal with quality comparable to that of fossil coal can be produced by high-temperature pyrolysis at ≥500 ºC, but the production efficiency is relatively low due to low bio-coal yield at high pyrolysis temperatures.

5. 3. Relational creativity : what can participatory art do for higher education?

   Author : Sol Morén; Simon Lindgren; Thomas von Wachenfeldt; Fernando Hernádez-Hernández; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; creativity; relational creativity; higher education; participatory art; visual arts; fine arts; arts-based research; participatory design; design for learning; sociotechnical design; educational design research; future education; rethinking education; sustainable development;

   Abstract : Why research creativity in higher education? Creativity is regarded as a key competence for future education by the European Union as well as by UNESCO, and my wish is to contribute to this contemporary global agenda of rethinking education. Creativity is central for complex problem- solving and we need to rethink education to facilitate for our future citizens to develop creativity, to be able to meet our interconnected world's urgent need for sustainable development.

6. 4. Sustainable valorization of Biomass into Syngas/H2 via Biocarbon catalyst

   Author : Hanmin Yang; Weihong Yang; Pär Jönsson; Linda Sandström; Chunfei Wu; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pyrolysis; Catalytic upgrading; Biomass; Biochar; Syngas; Hydrogen; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : Environmental issues stemming from the rapid growth in global energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions require urgent resolutions. Biomass represents a viable alternative for displacing fossil fuels, as its energy can be converted into electricity, heat, fuels, and chemical precursors, thus substituting petrochemicals.

7. 5. Sustainable Energy Conversion from Biomass Waste Combustion - Experimental and Multiscale Modelling Studies

   Author : Maulana Nugraha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stefan flow; particulate matter; biomass; combustion; soot; furnace; orthogonal collocation; CFD simulation;

   Abstract : The development of sustainable energy conversion via residual biomass combustion is one of the scientific and industrial community focus today to fulfilling the global net zero emission commitment in 2050. Despite its potency due to the abundant stock of biomass, hazardous particulate matter (PM) emission from residual biomass combustion remains a big challenge to increase the contribution of biomass combustion as a main renewable energy source.
