In the search for renewable vehicle fuels several different gasoline additives have been discussed and reviewed. Today bioethanol is the most commonly used option, but isobutanol is being proposed as a better alternative by many stakeholders, due to its superior fuel characteristics, e.g. energy density, oxygen content and vapor pressure. The research project “Glycerol-based isobutanol” has invest

The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper metalloenzymes that can enhance polysaccharide depolymerization through an oxidative mechanism and hence boost generation of biofuel from e.g. cellulose. By employing density functional theory in a combination of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM), we report a complete description of the molecular mechanism of LPMOs. The QM/
Striving to mitigate climate change, the European Union has adopted net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as a target for 2050. In this paper, European chemical industry roadmaps from the past six years are assessed and compared to uncover how the industry envisions its role in the transition to net-zero emissions. The roadmaps are assessed in terms of ambition level, technology and feedstock strategi
Fire incidents involving Li-ion batteries is an increasing concern as the use of battery electric vehicles is increasing. Abuse conditions such as heating can result in ejection of flammable and toxic gases, presenting a health risk and risk of explosion or fire. The purpose of the present work is to increase the understanding of combustion of gas mixtures vented from Li-ion batteries. The investi
This work evaluates a standardized 30-ton, 16 m railbus platform optimized for unelectrified regional service, focusing on propulsion system design and trade-offs between range, cost, and emissions. A MATLAB/Simulink drive-cycle model was developed to simulate energy consumption and component performance under realistic operating conditions. The Erfurt–Rennsteig route in Germany (130 km round trip
Fuel cells are promising due to advantages with higher energy conversion efficiency and lower emissions of SOX, NOX and CO2 than conventional power systems. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a high temperature fuel cell, which operates at 600-1000 ºC. The high operating temperature and the anode material allow SOFCs to operate with different types of fuels from both fossil and renewable sources due

A general approach to the modifications of the spectrum of a laser pulse interacting with matter is elaborated and used for spectral diagnostics of laser wakefield generation in guiding structures. Analytical predictions of the laser frequency red shift due to the wakefield excited in a capillary waveguide are confirmed by self-consistent modeling results. The role of ionization blue shift, and no
Access to reliable and affordable electricity remains a significant challenge in many rural regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis presents a feasibility study for the implementation of a solar-powered mini-grid in Linga Linga, a rural village in the Inhambane province of Mozambique. Conducted in collaboration with the non-governmental organization Project Vita, the study focuses on Section B
The MAX laboratory at Lund University, Sweden, today operates an accelerator system consisting of a 100 MeV racetrack microtron and a 550 MeV storage ring (MAX I). At the moment (July 1994) a new storage ring MAX II is near completion and will start first injections within 2 months. This work gives an overview of the MAX II project including the first beamlines and a description of the accelerator
The Port of Rotterdam is an important industrial cluster mainly comprising of oil refining, chemical manufacturing and power and steam generation. In 2015, the area accounted for 18 % of the Netherlands' total CO2 emissions. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is aware that the port's economy is heavily exposed to future global and EU decarbonization policies, as the bulk of its activities focuses on
It is expected that fuel cells will play a significant role in a future sustainable energy system. They are energy efficient, fuel can be produced nearly locally and, when a renewable fuel such as ethanol, methanol and biogas is used, there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases. Fuel cells have during recent years various progresses, but the technology is still in the early phases of developmen
