How can we advance and deliver solutions to our pressing sustainability challenges? This question motivates our master students and in the final year they get to practice their skills in real-life consulting projects. Nine student teams got the opportunity to explore, analyse and propose solutions to a client partnering with the IIIEE. The projects completed include:Circularity of rare earth metal

Can metals really burn? Well yes, and you have most definitely seen them burn since metals often are used in fireworks to get different colors. These colorful flames have the potential to be used as alternative to gasoline and other fossil fuels in a clean cycle for storing energy. This cycle will start with a pure metal powder such as aluminium or iron. Then, the powder is burned where energy is

Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in the transition to a climate-neutral society. Although hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas with a direct climate impact, there are large knowledge gaps about its indirect impacts on the climate and environment. The Horizon Europe-funded research project HYway aims to fill these gaps. We spoke to David Wårlind from Lund University who is leading one of

The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at

Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.
