2. 1. Foresight and Feedback: Monitoring and assessing the environmental implications of emerging technologies

   Author : Duncan Kushnir; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; patent analysis; lithium; Foresight; topic model; monitoring; guidance; energy system; resource availability; environmental assessment;

   Abstract : The magnitude of the change required to approach sustainability indicates an effort that will have to be sustained over decades, during which vast new technology systems will have to be developed and deployed. Yet technological development is a double edged sword, and these efforts will inevitably incur unintended consequences. READ MORE

4. 2. Motivating External Participation in Marketing Intelligence Foresight

   Author : Andrew Flostrand; Esmail Salehi-Sangari; Leyland Pitt; Victoria L. Crittenden; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; marketing intelligence; stakeholder engagement; self-determination theory; Delphi technique; crowdsourcing; foresight; motivation; technological forecasting; social forecasting; Industrial Marketing; Industriell marknadsföring;

   Abstract : Long-range planning for purposes of deciding on the development of high investment and long development cycle activities requires that assumptions be made about environmental factors at the time of their future completion. For organizations that serve a market, the future market factors related to supply, demand, and technological developments are at once fundamentally critical and unknowable  with certainty.

5. 3. New methods and applications to explore the dynamics of least-cost technologies in geospatial electrification modelling

   Author : Andreas Sahlberg; Francesco Fuso Nerini; William Usher; Mark Howells; James Morrissey; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Access to modern energy services is a pre-requisite for sustainable development. As such, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. However, as of 2021, 675 million people lack access to electricity, and 2.3 billion people lack access to clean cooking fuels. READ MORE

6. 4. Circularity in Thermal Recycling for Sustainable Carbon Fibers

   Author : Marina Corvo Alguacil; Roberts Joffe; Tommy Öman; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pyrolysis; carbon fiber; composites recycling; CFRP; polymer composites; sustainability; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera kompositmaterial;

   Abstract : The research field of composite materials is particularly fascinating due to the design freedom they offer and the infinite number of constituent combinations, including those that are already explored, and many more that are yet to be tried. One composite material that holds great potential contains carbon in its fiber shape. READ MORE

7. 5. Perspectives on Climate Policy : Induced technological change, land competition and global income inequality

   Author : Fredrik Hedenus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Emissions of carbon dioxide enhance the natural greenhouse effect, which may cause higher average global surface temperatures. To avoid climate change, carbon emissions must decrease or carbon must be removed from the atmosphere. In order to achieve this, intervening policies are necessary. READ MORE
