  2. 16. Covalent functionalization of carbon nanomaterials for bioelectrochemical applications

    Author : Naoual Allali; Alexander Soldatov; Manuel Dossot; Victor Mamane; Silvia Giordani; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Experimentell fysik; Experimental Physics;

    Abstract : Carbon nanotubes (CTNs) are renowned for their exceptional electronic and mechanical properties. Their structure can be considered as rolling up a graphene sheet along a specific crystallographic direction, leading to a 1D confinement of the electronic wavefunction of the delocalized electrons along the perimeter of the cylindrical structure thus obtained.

  4. 17. Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Transport Infrastructure Projects

    Author : Jan Krantz; Thomas Olofsson; Stefan Dehlin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

    Abstract : On- and off-site construction activities during transport infrastructure projectsare major contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The SwedishTransport Administration (STA) has stated the goal of gradually reducing itsemissions from transport infrastructure projects to zero by 2050. READ MORE

  5. 18. Taxation of intermediate goods : a CGE analysis

    Author : Lars Bohlin; Lars Hultkrantz; Mats Nilsson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Optimal taxation; energy taxation; environmental taxes; emission trading; climate policy; carbon leakage; CGE-analysis; input-output tables; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This dissertation is concerned with tax rates for the use of commodities in general, and energy in particular. Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models are used to analyze the normative question of whether the tax rate for intermediate use by firms should be the same as the tax rate for final consumption by households.

  6. 19. Carbon Effect on Mechanical Properties in Austenitic Steels - A DFT-based Study

    Author : Ruiwen Xie; Levente Vitos; Pär Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : To study the effect of carbon interstitials in austenitic steels on plastic deformation mechanisms is the main goal of the present thesis. Using first-principlesmethods, the generalized stacking fault energy (GSFE) of C-alloyed γ-Fe is firstcalculated. The GSFE curve includes several prominent stacking fault energiesthat are fundamental for, e. READ MORE

  7. 20. Capturing Swedish Industry Transition towards Carbon Neutrality in a National Energy System Model

    Author : Erik Sandberg; Andrea Toffolo; Anna Krook-Riekkola; Åsa Lindman; Isabela Butnar; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

    Abstract : Industry is responsible for approximately 30 % of the total emissions of greenhouse gases, both globally and in Sweden. Given the climate targets set out in the Paris agreement, the industry is facing a challenging future, requiring effective policies to aid the transition. READ MORE
