Petrography of impactites from the Dellen impact structure, Sweden

Identifiering och karaktärisering av chock-metamorfa strukturer i nedslagskratrar är viktigt för vår förståelse av hur chockvågor interagerar med geologiska material och hur nedslagskratrar bildas, vilket i sin tur är essentiellt för att förstå rollen meteoritnedslag har spelat under vårt solsystems utveckling. Accessoriska mineral är av speciellt intresse. Två av dessa är Apatit, vilket innehålleIdentification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, w

Evaluation of Excess Heat Driven Carbon Capture Integrated at a Swedish Pulp Mill

Genom att använda koldioxidinfångning som drivs av överskottsvärme på ett massabruk i sydvästra Sverige så kan mer än en tredjedel av de fossila utsläppen från hela pappers- och massaindustrin fångas in genom så kallade negativa utsläpp. Detta visar på hur snabbt Sveriges fossila utsläpp kan minska genom användning av koldioxidinfångning.
