En fallstudie i fyra alsumpskogar p? svenska v?stkusten
… salt marshes are well known for their ability to capture and store atmospheric carbon effectively. In Sweden, there is still limited knowledge about local coastal ecosystems with similar functions, with alder swamp forests being an interesting example. Therefore, this study …
… of road materials, gravel and asphalt. In the second test run noise level, carbon monoxide and temperature were measured. Additionally ventilation and air movements were examined at different speeds. Finally working environment and security were visually examined. The field …
… to simulate human lungs with regards to anesthetic uptake, production of carbon dioxide and heating and moisturizing exhaled air. The system comprises a container and a test lung to simulate the volume and the dynamic of the human lung. The simulation of uptake of anesthetics …
… need for companies to get control over their energy use and their emission of carbon dioxid. An analysis tool that integrates both these areas is, with our knowledge, not available on the market today. Therefore, our project became to develop such a tool. By doing this degree …
… an understanding of the incentives for forest companies to invest in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, which is termed REDD. The Brazilian Amazonas was chosen as the base for the investment case. Brazil has the largest area of …
In conventional viscose manufacturing, a large amount of carbondisulfide is consumed. This amount has to be decreased to keep the production cost down and to reduce the environmental impact. The purpose with this work was to show if an enzyme treatment of a dissolving pulp could …
… forest data affects the future management. The impact of the management on the carbon stock of the property was also examined. A forestry plan established in 2009 by Skogssällskapet was used as a basis for the analyses. As a complement to the forestry plan an objective survey …
… to invest in GHG removals compared to purchasing emission allowances on the carbon market. The questions that have been raised and needs clarification in the thesis are the following:? From a company perspective, what are the incentives for implementing Forest Clean Development …
case study from Burkina Faso
… the regions most affected by climate change. However its forests are important carbon sinks for the whole world, and if recognised as a global public good, could be conserved and contribute to green house gas emission reductions. A global mechanism, Reduced Emissions from …
en studie av hållbarhetsredovisningars användbarhet
… forestry sector) have been investigated with respect to their accounting for carbon dioxide, and an experiment using the method ”Sustainable Value Approach” was subsequently performed. The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of sustainability reports by using the …
En analys av energibesparande åtgärder samt uppvärmnings- och kylsystems driftkostnader och koldioxidutsläpp
… and low temperate surface water cooling Energy use, operation costs and carbon dioxide emissions were calculated for the current heating systems and the three alternatives including cooling. The ground source heat pump for heating and cooling decreases bought energy with 34 MWh …
Total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) are two methods used for measuring organic pollutants in wastewater. Both methods are widely used but the COD method results in production of hazardous wastes, including mercury.The purpose of this study was to validate …
… conditions have been considered. The conclusion gives an account on savings of carbon dioxide emissions, energy, and capital. The capital savings will act as a foundation on which the size of investment will be proposed with the aid of economic calculations.The results show that …
The decomposition of organic carbon in drained peat soils is a major source of carbon di-oxide in Sweden. A big part of these drained peat soils are used in agriculture and it is a big challenge to slow down their decomposition. It has earlier been thought that less tilling and …
natural resource management and climate change adaptation and mitigation
… to climate change. Vineyards are therefore likely to be obliged to perform Carbon Footprint audits in the future as the agricultural sector is a large contributor to climate change. The Carbon Footprint of the production on Kanonkop was determined in this report, aiming to …
