Environmental impacts along intensity gradients in Norwegian dairy production as evaluated by life cycle assessments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The aim of the study was to explore whether and how intensification would contribute to more environmentally friendly dairy production in Norway. Three typical farms were envisaged, representing intensive production ... -
Environmental impacts and aspects of absorbents used for CO2 capture
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:242, Doctoral thesis, 2011)If the CO2 capture processes based on absorption are to be employed on a global level, there will be a large scale use of solvents. The absorbents used should have favourable characteristics for energy requirement, reaction ... -
Environmental impacts assessment of wastewater treatment and sludge disposal systems under two sewage discharge standards: a case study in Kunshan, China
(Journal article, 2021)To improve water quality in cities, the Chinese government has raised the discharge standard in many areas from class 1B to the more stringent 1A. Therefore, sewage treatment plants must ramp up their advanced treatment. ... -
Environmental Impacts of Capital Formation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Environmental impacts of future light duty vehicles
(Master thesis, 2017)While a couple of previous studies have used the tool life-cycle assessment to assess the environmental impacts of currently available light duty passenger vehicles, the few studies that model impacts of the future vehicle ... -
Environmental impacts of high penetration renewable energy scenarios for Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The prospect of irreversible environmental alterations and an increasingly volatile climate pressurises societies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby mitigating climate change impacts. As global electricity demand ... -
Environmental impacts of household consumption: from demand patterns to mitigation strategies
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:238, Doctoral thesis, 2018) -
Environmental impacts of household food consumption and the efficiency of a carbon tax
(Master thesis, 2018)The agriculture, forest and other land use (AFOLU) sector is responsible for roughly one quarter of the anthropogenic global GHG emissions. Agriculture is the main driver in the AFOLU sector, as agricultural products such ... -
Environmental impacts of large-scale adoptions of hydrogen as energy carrier: a scenario-based life cycle assessment
(Master thesis, 2017)The world is facing a severe threat in terms of climate change, and the use of fossil fuels for transport and electricity production is a major contributor. The use of hydrogen is foreseen to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) ... -
Environmental impacts of producing and recycling the global passenger vehicle fleet. Integrated scenario analysis with Dynamic Stock models and the Waste-Input-Output model
(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 Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plants
(Master thesis, 2014)Massive development of new renewable energy sources is taking place all over the world in 21st century and Europe is not an exception. Wind turbine parks are being planned and built on shore, in coastal zones and in the ... -
Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy: An Overview of Life Cycle Results
(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 ... -
Environmental impacts of treating e-waste in Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)Elektronik affald er en meget kompleks affaldsstrøm, der består af forskellige materialer, der indeholder farlige og værdifulde materialer. Disse er vigtige at genindvinde for at undgå miljømæssige konsekvenser ved uansvarlig ... -
Environmental impacts of winter road maintenance. A life-cycle approach
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:85, Doctoral thesis, 2020) -
Environmental implications of large-scale adoption of wind power: a scenario-based life cycle assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)We investigate the potential environmental impacts of a large-scale adoption of wind power to meet up to 22% of the world's growing electricity demand. The analysis builds on life cycle assessments of generic onshore and ... -
Environmental influences on life history strategies in partially anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta, Salmonidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper reviews the life history of brown trout and factors influencing decisions to migrate. Decisions that maximize fitness appear dependent on size at age. In partly anadromous populations, individuals that attain ... -
Environmental Input-Output Assessment of Integrated Second Generation Biofuel Production in Fenno-Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2009)The goal of this study is to investigate the potential implementation of integrated dimethyl ether (DME) production from by-products of the pulp and paper industry in Fenno-Scandinavia (Finland, Norway and Sweden) and to ... -
Environmental life cycle assessment of cereal and bread production in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We assessed the environmental impacts of producing bread, as delivered to the consumer, assuming the use of Norwegian ingredients only. Ten impact categories, including global warming potential (GWP), were quantified by ... -
