This paper examines the reaction-to-fire behaviour of building materials containing phase change materials by predicting their fire classification according to the European reaction-to-fire classification system (Euroclasses). While various building materials containing PCMs exist today, their application in buildings has been somewhat limited due to the fire behaviour of these building materials.

Packed beds with methane steam reforming reaction (MSR) can be used as thermochemical storage devices. The packing configuration can have a significant effect on the flow distribution which will further influence the heat/mass transfer, dispersion and reaction characteristics. In the present paper, the hydraulic, dispersion, heat/mass transfer and the MSR reaction properties are investigated in pa

The incineration furnace at National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala, Sweden, generates a large amount of waste heat. Some of this heat is partially recovered and is used for heating one of the main buildings during the furnace operation. However, around 2,000 MWh is wasted annually due to unavailability of any storage system. This work studies in detail four different solutions to utilize t

The true promise of MXene as a practical supercapacitor electrode hinges on the simultaneous advancement of its three-dimensional (3D) assembly and the engineering of its nanoscopic architecture, two critical factors for facilitating mass transport and enhancing an electrode’s charge-storage performance. Herein, we present a straightforward strategy to engineer robust 3D freestanding MXene (Ti3C2T

The recent push for decarbonization in the maritime sector presents an opportunity for ports to strengthen their position as energy hubs. This work studies the existing energy flows in the Port of Trelleborg, one of Europe's biggest roll-on, roll-off ports, and proposes some energy-related development strategies. The current energy flows directly concerning the port are for the most part elect

Sveriges framtida elsystem står inför en stor omställning, där kärnkraft successivt kommer att fasas ut, samtidigt som det sker en stor utbyggnad av vindkraft. Vindkraftens sjunkande priser, tillsammans med Sveriges mål om ett 100 % förnybart elsystem år 2040, gör det till en attraktiv resurs. En omställning från en leveranstrygg elproduktion baserad på kärnkraft, till en mer variabel med vindkrafSweden's future electricity system is facing a transformation, where nuclear power will gradually be phased out, while there is a large expansion of wind power. The declining wind power prices, together with Sweden's goal of a 100% renewable electricity system in 2040, makes it an attractive resource. However, a change from a secure supply of energy from nuclear production, to a more varia

As the future energy goals of the building industry involve reducing the energy intensity in buildings as well as increasing the share of renewable energy sources, a suitable approach would be energy renovating existing buildings and further utilizing renewable energy production technology to reach Net-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standard. This study is therefore investigating the economic feasibi

The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten

Circular economy has recently become a central part of European policy, bridging the environmental and economic policy domains closer than ever in an attempt to fulfil enhanced environmental ambitions. As economic operators seek to adopt innovative solutions, the issue of how established legal frameworks hamper or facilitate them becomes central. This thesis examines this point in relation to on
