Environmental Assessment of Bus Transport in the Trondheim Region - Evaluation of Relevant Bus and Fuel Technologies and their Potential for Mitigating Emissions from Passenger Transportation
Buø, Tonje (Master thesis, 2015)The overall aim of this thesis is to assess the carbon footprint of transport by bus in the Trondheim region. Bus transportation is promoted as a strategy both to combat local pollution problems in urban areas and to ... -
Environmental Assessment of Electricity Transmission Grid Upgrades Triggered by the Increasing Utilization of Variable and Remote Renewable Energy
Saitov, Rustem (Master thesis, 2014)This study aims to perform hybrid life cycle assessment of potential environmental implications due to expansion of electricity transmission grid which would allow to including intermittent energy sources. Existing studies ... -
Environmental impact of railway development: The Standard Gauge Railway in Tanzania
Rousseau, Lola Sylvie Annie (Master thesis, 2020)Current railway activities in Africa suffer from poor track condition and lack of maintenance, but there is potential for rail transport growth for both passengers and freight. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the ... -
Environmental impacts of household consumption: from demand patterns to mitigation strategies
Ivanova, Diana (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:238, Doctoral thesis, 2018) -
Environmental impacts of producing and recycling the global passenger vehicle fleet. Integrated scenario analysis with Dynamic Stock models and the Waste-Input-Output model
Pallas, Georgios (Master thesis, 2015)Abstract The last decades humans observe changes that are happening in the climate system. The climate system is warming and only in the last 60 years there have been observed many changes on Earth that they have not been ... -
Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy: An Overview of Life Cycle Results
Hung, Christine (Master thesis, 2010)Selected non-renewable and renewable energy processes from the ecoinvent 2.2 life cycle inventory database were analysed using basic contribution analysis, geometric series expansion, and structural path analysis. The ... -
Examples of Sustainable Consumption: Review, Classification and Analysis
Hertwich, Edgar; Katzmayr, Michael (Reports from Industrial Ecology Programme (IndEcol), 1501-6153; 2004:5, Research report, 2004)In this report, we gather what could be seen as examples of sustainable consumption. The intention of the report is to help policy makers identify promising policy measures and strategies to reduce environmental and social ... -
From farm to fork: comparative analysis of biodiversity footprints of selected food recipes.
Razina, Lika (Master thesis, 2023)Selv om erkjennelsen av klimaendringer er vidt spredt, er spørsmål om tap av biologisk mangfold og skade på økosystemtjenester ikke klar over av flertallet. Artsmangfold karakteriserer stabilitet og bærekraft i økosystemene, ... -
Furthering the representation of causal chains between water and land use in Life Cycle Assessment
Moxnes, Martin Flaktveit (Master thesis, 2015)In this thesis the causal chains between deforestation and increased flood impacts are assessed for expanding the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methodology. Until recently the impact categories water use and land use ... -
Greenhouse Gas emission from Transportation associated with French Consumption: An input-output analysis approach
Dente, Sebastien (Master thesis, 2008)This thesis applies the framework of input-output analysis to the transportation of goods driven by the consumption of French household.It was found that transportation of goods amounts to 7 % of the average 22,4 tons of ... -
Heating and Ventilation of Highly Energy Efficient Residential Buildings: Environmental Assessment of Technology Alternatives
Sørnes, Kari (Master thesis, 2011)The aim of this study was to determine the level of environmental impact and primary energy resulting from demands placed on residential ventilation and heating systems; a conventional residential house built to the 2007 ... -
Holistic economic and environmental optimization of future energy systems
Shen, Haiping (Master thesis, 2023)The energy transition requires secure, affordable, and sustainable solutions to mitigate climate change and other ecological damages. However, energy supply involves complex and diverse resource-intensive sectors in the ... -

Strømman, Anders Hammer; Hertwich, Edgar (Working Papers from Industrial Ecology Programmme (IndEcol), 1504-3681; 2004:3, Research report, 2004)An environmental assessment of three designs for a large-scale hydrogen production facility is performed using a Hybrid Life Cycle Assesment approach. The operational adaption of the hybrid framework for this case is shown ... -
Integrating LCA in the local energy planning for heat supply of buildings
Hammervold, Johanne (Master thesis, 2007)The objective of this study was to develop an approach to integrate LCA of different fuels and energy conversion technologies into the energy planning tool eTransport. Course LCA's for relevant energy commodities, ... -
Klimagassbesparelser knyttet til ombruk av ulike bæresystemer
Bordal, Inga (Master thesis, 2023)I Parisavtalen, vedtatt i 2015, ble det fastsatt et mål om å begrense økningen i den globale gjennomsnittstemperaturen til 2 °C, helst 1,5 °C, over førindustrielt nivå. På bakgrunn av dette har EU blant annet et mål om å ... -
Land Use and Land Use Change Impacts on Terrestrial Habitats from Hydropower Development in the LCA framework
