A multi-impact analysis of changing ICT consumption patterns for Sweden and the EU: Indirect rebound effects and evidence of decoupling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one of the major areas of growth in consumption seen over the last two decades. The falling prices of ICT and increasing energy efficiency of ICT may lead to reduced spending ... -
ANN modelling of CO2 refrigerant cooling system COP in a smart warehouse
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Industrial cooling systems consume large quantities of energy with highly variable power demand. To reduce environmental impact and overall energy consumption, and to stabilize the power requirements, it is recommended to ... -
An ANN-based optimization approach of building energy systems: Case study of swimming pool
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Reliable models are necessary for optimization of building energy systems. However, artificial neural network (ANN) models developed by measured data is hard to accurately reflect physical characteristics of systems due ... -
Beyond the borders – burdens of Swedish food consumption due to agrochemicals, greenhouse gases and land-use change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Sweden's environmental policy aims to solve domestic environmental problems without increasing environmental and health impacts overseas. Realizing this aim requires an indicator system with a consumption-based (or ... -
Climate change mitigation of drop-in biofuels for deep-sea shipping under a prospective life-cycle assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The shipping sector is seeking options to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and achieve ambitious climate change mitigation goals. Unlike short-sea shipping that can rely on electrification of coastal vessels, ... -
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 ... -
Comparative life cycle assessment of tailings management and energy scenarios for a copper ore mine: A case study in Northern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In support of continuous environmental improvement in the mining industry, it is important to systematically assess the environmental impacts of mining and mineral processing operations from a life cycle perspective. ... -
Decoupling Between Human Development and Energy Consumption within Footprint Accounts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Historically, the growth of energy consumption has fuelled human development, but this approach is no longer socially and environmentally sustainable. Recent analyses suggest that some individual countries have responded ... -
Energy use and retrofitting potential of heat pumps in cold climate hotels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Tourism, and thereby hotels, play a crucial role in the European economy. The hotel sector features high energy consumption, which greatly contributes to the global warming effect. Thus, there is a need to investigate ... -
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 pressure from Swedish consumption - The largest contributing producer countries, products and services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In order to produce goods and services that are consumed in Sweden, natural resources are extracted and pollutants are emitted in many other countries. This paper presents an analysis of the goods and services consumed in ... -
Environmental pressures from Swedish consumption – A hybrid multi-regional input-output approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Sweden has a policy goal of solving major environmental problems in Sweden within a generation, without increasing environmental or health problems in other countries. Following up this goal requires indicators for domestic ... -
Global transport emissions in the Swedish carbon footprint
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Transport is perhaps one of the more difficult sources of emissions to address. Whilst opportunities are available for electrification of road vehicle fleets, air transport and the long distance freight of goods are more ... -
Identifying emission hotspots for low carbon technology transfers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Data on consumption-based CO2 emissions has become increasingly available over the past years. These data raise the awareness of the link between final goods and the environmental pollution caused by upstream production ... -
Improving consumption based accounting for global capture fisheries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Consumption-based accounting has been used to understand the resource and environmental pressures associated with the consumption of goods and services. Capture fisheries have significant economic, cultural, and environmental ... -
Indicators for national consumption-based accounting of chemicals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Increased chemical use is causing a growing number of environmental problems and chemical products are pervasive in societies within animal and crop-based agriculture, in industrial processes and in households. National ... -
