An environmental assessment of the electrification of construction machinery
Myklebust, Mathias Ås (Master thesis, 2022)En rask overgang til mindre utslippsintensive teknologier er nødvendig for å dempe effektene av klimaendringer. Byggeaktiviteter er en betydelig kilde til utslipp over hele verden, og en stor bidragsyter til dette er den ... -
Approaches to Avoid Double Counting in Hybrid Life Cycle Inventories
Strømman, Anders Hammer; Hertwich, Edgar (Working Papers from Industrial Ecology Programmme (IndEcol), 1504-3681; 2004:7, Research report, 2004)Hybrid life cycle analysis methodology offers a convenient way to combine traditional life cycle inventories and input output tables to construct inventory data that has both good detail and completeness. This combination ... -
Assessing the Environmental Costs and Benefits of Households Electricity Consumption Management
Segtnan, Ida Lund (Master thesis, 2011)In this study the environmental costs and benefits of smart metering technology systems installed in households in Norway have been assessed. Smart metering technology systems enable mechanisms to manage electricity ... -
Assessing the Life Cycle Environmental Impacts of Offshore Wind Power Generation and Power Transmission in the North Sea
Birkeland, Christine (Master thesis, 2011)An integrated approach to climate and energy policy is required to meet the challenges associated with climate changes caused by anthropogenic emissions. At the same time, the demand for electricity is increasing. Wind ... -
Beyond peak emission transfers: historical impacts of globalization and future impacts of climate policies on international emission transfers
Wood, Richard; Grubb, Michael; Anger-Kraavi, Annela; Pollitt, Hector; Rizzo, Ben; Alexandri, Eva; Stadler, Konstantin; Moran, Daniel; Hertwich, Edgar; Tukker, Arnold (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Globalization of supply chains has resulted in rapid increases in emission transfers from the developing to the developed world. As outsourcing has risen, developed countries have been able to decarbonize domestically, at ... -
Carbon footprint of diets of Norwegian households - status and potential reductions
Stamm, Aurélie Valentine (Master thesis, 2015)The present work aims at quantifying the current carbon footprint of diets of average Norwegian households with a holistic perspective, and assessing various ways to reduce it. The scope of the research comprises food ... -
Demographically-Extended Socioeconomic Metabolism: A step towards addressing human needs and wants in resources’ modelling
Correa, Luis Felipe Vásquez (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:233, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Sustainable sociometabolic patterns are required to overcome unsatisfied needs, inequalities, and environmental problems, especially because of the expected population growth and rising living standards. To inform socioeconomic ... -
