A large proportion of apartment buildings in Europe were built between 1950 and 1990 and many of them are today in need of renovation due to inherently poor quality of design, a lack of subsequent maintenance and the present-day imperative of energy-efficiency. The limited extent of renovation compared with new-build projects suggests that developers find renovation unattractive. The purpose of th
Combined heat and power (CHP) production in combination with a district heating (DH) grid gives an energy-efficient use of wood fuels. The heat demand in the DH grid will, however, decline in the coming decades, and operators are seeking additional heat sinks. In this case study, the integration of a pyrolysis unit into an existing CHP plant was investigated as a possible solution. The retrofitted
Sugar esters (SEs), value-added products derived from inexpensive renewable feedstocks (sugars and fatty acids), are biobased and biocompatible surfactants employed in foods, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. They also possess antimicrobial and other biological activities. Their market size is projected to be $74.6 million by 2020. SEs are difficult to synthesize due to the poor miscibi
It is well known that the electricity price varies between days but also withinthe day, sometimes even resulting in negative prices. Flexible production unitscould take advantage of those variations by adapting the production accordingly. However, few studies exists that compare the cost effectiveness of different types of production units while taking these within day price variations into accoun
The European Union’s aim to decarbonize the building stock by 2050 requires significant reductions in the energy use for space heating and cooling. One such solution to decarbonization could be energy sharing between buildings. This paper presents the potential for energy saving and subsequent reduction in carbon emission with a low temperature district network in an energy community based in Malm
Uppsatsen har undersökt huruvida spelföretaget Star Stable Entertainment AB marknadsföring av virtuella valutor och produkter till barn bryter mot EU:s konsumentskyddslagstiftning i ljuset av Sveriges Konsumenters anmälan mot företaget. Uppsatsen har även diskuterat om direktivet om otillbörliga affärs-metoder är anpassat för den digitala miljön med hänsyn till kommissionens aktuella fitness checkThe essay analyses whether the gaming company Star Stable Entertainment AB´s marketing of virtual currencies and other virtual products against chil-dren violates EU consumer law, considering the Swedish Consumers Associ-ation’s complaint against the company. The paper also discusses whether the Unfair Commercial Practice Directive (UCPD) is fit for the digital environ-ment, given the European Com
The evaporative gas turbine pilot plant (EvGT) has been in operation at Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden since 1997. This article presents the latest development in the evaporative technology, the evaporation of bio-ethanol in a gas turbine power plant as a means to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Bio-ethanol is produced from a feedstock consisting of corn-stover, and the bio-ethano
Energy and power efficiency are becoming important topics within the graphics community. In this paper, we present a simple, straightforward method for measuring per-frame energy consumption of real-time graphics workloads. The method is non-invasive, meaning that source code is not needed, which makes it possible to measure on a much wider range of applications. We also discuss certain behaviors
This paper studies the consequences on high temperature corrosion when biomass is co-fired with coal in oxy-fuel combustion, a concept that would enable negative CO2 emissions by combining renewable fuels with CO2 capture. The particular focus of the work is the sulphation of alkali chlorides which is studied by means of experiments and modelling. The melting point of alkali sulphates is higher th
Bioenergy is perceived to play a vital role in climate mitigation, transition to renewable energy consumption, energy security, and local and rural socio-economic development. However, exploiting renewable bioenergy resources may need to be more sustainable in the current predominant paradigm. In this study, we raise two broad research questions: (1) what are the significant challenges to the curr
Evaluating the performance of retrofitted buildings for future climatic conditions can be a challenging task since different scenarios and uncertainties exist both for retrofitting of buildings and for future climate. This paper evaluates the energy performance of four retrofitting measures - applied to the building envelope - of the residential building stock in Gothenburg, Sweden. The energy eff
Understanding public responses to environmental policies can help in achieving a move towards more renewable energy. Focusing on two types of public responses to a policy, namely public acceptance and public support, this study utilizes a survey of car owners (N = 1422) to explore public responses to an environmental transport policy in Sweden. The results demonstrate higher levels of public accep
Satu Lähteenoja’s PhD thesis consists of five published articles and an extensive introduction. The articles make strong, or even major, contributions to research and Satu Lähteenoja’s contribution to the articles is clearly demonstrated. The introduction combines the articles into a whole and through the introduction the contribution is clearly bigger than the sum of the five articles.

Diana Karpman's project focuses on the pathogenesis of renal diseases and the infectious, inflammatory and prothrombotic mechanisms leading to acute and chronic renal failure. Novel mechanisms of disease propagation via blood-borne and cell-derived microvesicles as well as complement and kinin system activation are investigated. The diseases investigated are enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHE
