Climate change mitigation potential of Norwegian households and the rebound effect
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)An increasing number of studies show that efficiency improvements alone will not be sufficient to attain the substantial emission reductions needed to mitigate global warming to a target of 2 °C. Consumption side changes ... -
Combined life cycle and economic assessment of wood based bio fuels in Norway
(Master thesis, 2008)The increasing global demand for energy coupled with decreasing oil-supplies, and increasing risk of adverse climate change due to anthropogenic carbon emissions has created the need for combined economic and environmental ... -
Development and Aplication of Mathematical Programs for Contribution Analysis in Life Cycle Assessment
(Master thesis, 2009)The environmental impact of a final product can be regarded as the sum of the impacts of all processes needed to obtain it. The impacts of these processes in all individual layers of production can be quantified using ... -
Development and assessment of symiosis in an industrial park
(Master thesis, 2007)As weather records are broken, and the topic of global warming and climate change, focus has been set on how this current development could be slowed or stopped. A change in paradigm must be conducted in order to address ... -
Direct and Indirect Energy Consumption of Households in Beijing
(Master thesis, 2008)China's economy has grown at remarkable rates in the last three decades, bringing about big improvements in people's quality of life. On the downside, the increased economic activity has contributed to serious environmental ... -
Environmental Assessment of Scenarios for Silicon Based Photovoltaic Electricity Generation in Europe
(Master thesis, 2009)In order to reduce the enhanced global warming caused by anthropogenic activity, new means of converting and exploiting energy is needed. Due to this the European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets for reductions in use ... -
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 ... -
Hybrid Life Cycle Assessment of Wood-based Biofuel Production and Consumption Scenarios in Norway
(Master thesis, 2008)An increasingly urgent need to develop alternatives to fossil fuels in road trans- portation stems from both the need to combat climate change and the need to prepare for a transition beyond peak oil. Biofuels can be part ... -
Integrating LCA in the local energy planning for heat supply of buildings
(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, ... -
Integration of Methods for Environmental Assessment and Investment Analysis
(Master thesis, 2010)Background, aim and scope. In this thesis a framework for integrating life cycle assessment and investment analysis is derived, aimed to (1) unite economic and environmental perspectives, and (2) strengthen system borders. ... -
LCA of Transportation Biofuels
(Master thesis, 2007)An increasing need to find alternatives to fossil fuels, and a growing awareness of the global warming effect has resulted in substantial research and development on biofuels. Biofuels are being considered a potential ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Offshore Wind Electricity Generation in Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2009)In this study a Multi Regional Input Output model has been developed for the base year 2000, and thereafter extended and hybridized to enable a study of offshore wind power generation in Scandinavia. Foremost the per-unit ... -
Life cycle assessment of recirculating aquaculture systems: A case of Atlantic salmon farming in China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are an alternative technology to tackle the major environmental challenges associated with conventional cage culture systems. In order to systematically assess the environmental ... -

Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method for assessing the sustainability of end-of-life alternatives for waste plastics: A case study of Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Plastic, and its pollution of marineecosystems, has emerged as a global concern. Among the several other sources,plastics from a bandoned,lost,or discardedfishing gears(ALDFG), and ropes are considered the most dangerous ... -
Path Exchange Method for Hybrid Life-Cycle Assessment
(Master thesis, 2009)To keep process-specificity while extending system boundaries hybrid techniques were developed allowing the micro structure of the important parts of a system to be revealed at the same time the entire economic system in ... -
Scientific advice for the determination of an EU-wide 2040 climate target and a greenhouse gas budget for 2030–2050
(Book, 2023)In the report ‘Scientific advice for the determination of an EU-wide 2040 climate target and a greenhouse gas budget for 2030–2050’, the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change provides EU institutions with a ... -
The connection between city form and transport emissions: an empirical analysis
(Master thesis, 2010)During recent years, approaches ranging from preventive medicine to carbon emission cut have shed critical light on our car-dependant societies and pointed out a need for focusing on non-motorised transportation. This work ... -
The life cycle performance of energy using household products
(Master thesis, 2010)The number of household gadgets that use energy, usually electricity, has multiplied in recent decades and energy use in a category that was long called other has risen significantly. In the mean time, another concern ... -
Towards EU climate neutrality: Progress, policy gaps and opportunities
(Book, 2024)Based on an assessment of more than 80 indicators, we found that more efforts are needed across all sectors to achieve the EU climate objectives from 2030 to 2050, and particularly in buildings, transport, agriculture and ...
