Analysing the sustainability performance and critical improvement factors of urban municipal waste systems - case study RfD
(Master thesis, 2017)The objective of this master's thesis is to analyse the environmental performance and critical improvement factors of urban waste systems. The thesis is a case study of the urban waste management system of RfD (Renovasjo ... -
Energy analysis of Trondheim's dwelling stock in order to identify and investigate differences between a national and local dwelling stock
(Master thesis, 2017)The European Union has set ambitious targets for 2020 known as the 20/20/20 targets aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, increase the share of renewables to 20% and improve energy efficiency by 20%. Buildings ... -
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) ... -
Exploring the environmentally best use of short-rotation Eucalyptus exported from Brazil to Norway for Energy using Life Cycle Assessment
(Master thesis, 2017)Biomass energy demand is increasing due to the potential of climate change mitigation in substitution of fossil fuels. There is a need investigate the environmental profile and compare different options for the biomass. ... -
Furthering the representation of causal chains between water and land use in Life Cycle Assessment
(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 ... -
Inequality and Diet: How Are Environmental Impacts from Food Consumption Distributed Across Different Socioeconomic Groups Globally?
(Master thesis, 2018)In the age of globalization, rapid population growth, increased flow of products across borders and a rising demand for food, have been rising concern amongst international organizations. On the other hand, globalization ... -
LCA Modelling for Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Early Stage Planning
(Master thesis, 2018)The building sector is a major driver of climate change and recent years it has been a growing focus on limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the built environment. In Norway, the Research Centre on Zero ... -
Technological change in the steel industry and its effects on environmental footprints of downstream products
(Master thesis, 2018)The CO$_2$-emissions from the steel industry is at present 2.5 Gt, which represents 9\% of the worlds total carbon emissions in 2010. To keep the temperature change under 2.4\degree C compared to the pre-industrial time, ... -
