Implementation and application of an integrated framework for economic and environmental assessment of maritime transport vessels
(Master thesis, 2015)Global maritim transport utgjør mer enn 90% av internasjonal handel, og står for 3,3% av menneskeskapte CO2-utslipp (IMO, 2011; Buhaug et al., 2009). Det er forventet at disse utslippene vil øke med 150-250% innen 2050, ... -
Interactive data visualization of the Norwegian phosphorus cycle, coupling phosphorus with dry matter and energy in a multi-layered material flow analysis model
(Master thesis, 2015)The utilization of data visualization to explore complex systems is arguably an indispensable method for increasing understanding of a specific problem domain. It is argued that visualization techniques for presenting ... -
LCA of biogas/biofuel production from organic waste substrates under Danish and Polish conditions
(Master thesis, 2015)Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic waste and manure in Denmark (DK) and Poland (PL) is in expansion and it is believed to contribute considerably to reaching the EU goals on reducing CO2 and establishing a sustainable ... -
Life cycle assessment of biogas production from organic waste sources in a Norwegian context
(Master thesis, 2015)Avfall sektoren har fått større fokus de senere årene som en mulig kilde til å redusere miljøpåvirkninger, øke resurs gjenvinning samt effektivitet. Eu har nå forbudt deponering av organisk materiale for å redusere ... -
Life cycle assessment of building integrated photovoltaics for Zero Emission Buildings
(Master thesis, 2015)In this thesis the life cycle of a building integrated PVs has been evaluated to estimate the life cycle CO2 emissions and other relevant impact categories of multi and mono-si wafers. The environmental impact for producing ... -
Life cycle assessment of fish feed produced from the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)
(Master thesis, 2016)The use of insects as feed is an emerging industry. Despite all the information on insects as a sustainable alternative, very few studies have been done on the environmental performance of insects compared to other feed ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of fresh dairy packaging at ELOPAK
(Master thesis, 2017)Nearly all food and drink products require some packaging, and the impact from production and consumption is causing a strain on the environment. To counteract the bad effects, business is emphasizing the environmental ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Marine Fuel Production
(Master thesis, 2017)Currently, maritime transport represents over 80% of the global trade, and accounts for a significant share of the total global emissions of CO2, NOX and SOX., Due to the increased awareness of the impacts of maritime ... -
Life cycle assessment of phosphorous management for RAS sludge
(Master thesis, 2018)Phosphorous (P) is an essential nutrient and its recovery from aqua- culture sludge is the main core of this study. As the global reserves of phosphate rock are likely to be depleted in the next 50-100 years, it is crucial ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Slop Water Management in Challenging Offshore Drilling Operations
(Master thesis, 2015)Abstract Offshore oil and gas drilling operations generates slop water, which are formed when wastewater originating from multiple sources becomes contaminated with drilling fluid components and have to be disposed or ... -
Life Cycle Energy and CO2 Analysis of a Student Residential Building in Ningbo, China.
(Master thesis, 2017)Buildings with installed photovoltaic power systems tend to consume less energy and create less environmental damage. However, these photovoltaic power systems also can generate a significant amount of energy and environmental ... -
Life-Cycle Assessment of a biogas power plant with application of different climate metrics and inclusion of near-term climate forcers
(Master thesis, 2016)In this project we investigate the environmental sustainability associated with the production of electricity through anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and other organic wastes under Norwegian conditions. We provide ... -
Life-cycle assessment of international vacation packages
(Master thesis, 2014)This thesis aims to perform a Life Cycle Assessment in order to explore environmental impacts associated with a vacation package. It identified the phases of the holiday that generated the largest impact, the most significant ... -
Linking ecosystem services and damages from bauxite mining in an LCA context - A case study from Hydro and a movement towards no net loss of ecosystem services
(Master thesis, 2016)This study is part of a yearlong study with Norsk Hydro ASA addressing the impacts on ecosystem services in primary aluminum value chains. Here, the focus is on the impacts of bauxite mining at two locations in northern ... -
Modelling the environmental benefit of a lifetime extension on a laptop to facilitate pro-environmental behaviour
(Master thesis, 2016)Consumption of household goods is one of the main drivers behind several environmental impacts, including emission of greenhouse gases. Lifetime extension has been proposed as a strategy to mitigate emissions. Keeping ... -
Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of Container Shipping
