Undersökning av luftfuktighetens förändring över tid och dess påverkande faktorer i fjärrvärmekulvert: Analys av mätdata från Öresundskrafts fjärrvärmenät

Fjärrvärmen är en mogen uppvärmningsteknik som under lång tid har byggts ut i Sverige. Stora delar av fjärrvärmebolagens kapital består av ledningarna som är nedgrävda i marken. Att ha kunskapen om statusen på sina fjärrvärmeledningar är viktigt för att kunna undvika kostsamma skador och bedöma förnyelsebehov.

Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of

White inside: a critical examination of how structural whiteness in the Dutch climate movement obstructs climate justice

Understanding racial justice as central to climate justi

Testing the prehistoric settlement predictors: A performance evaluation of environmental variables in north-western Scania

This paper goes over the process of evaluating the environmental variables, which are most likely to predict the locations of prehistoric settlements in a Scanian setting.
