Carbon and climate efficient waste handling through waste incineration coupled with carbon capture and utilisation

Till stor del bygger industrin på fossila bränslen som energikälla vilket har bidragit till en snabb utsläppsökning av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären och därmed till förödande konsekvenser för klimatet. Koldioxidinfångning och användning (CCU) är en teknologi som kan spela en viktig roll i minskningen av CO2 utsläppen och bidra till en mer cirkulär ekonomi. CCU kopplat till avfallsförbränningsanläggMany industries rely heavily on fossil fuels as energy source for their processes which has contributed to a rapid increase in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere causing a harmful effect on the environment. Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is a technology pathway that can play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions and contribute to a more circular economy. CCU

Transient modelling of PFAS – How does a transient flow model affect the transportation modelling of PFAS?

Hur påverkar varierande infiltration transporten av PFAS i mark och grundvatten? PFAS kan vid nederbörd transporteras med infiltrerande vatten ner till grundvattnet och vidare till dricksvattentäkter. Därför är det viktigt att förstå hur variationer i infiltrationen påverkar spridningen för att kunna skydda våra dricksvattentäkter. PFAS står för pre- och polyfluorerande alkylsubstanser och är en PFAS contaminating groundwater is a worldwide problem. PFAS are synthetically produced substances that are known for their persistence in the environment. Understanding their behaviour in the environment is therefore an important factor, especially considering the possibility of contaminating drinking water sources. Groundwater modelling is a valuable tool to increase the knowledge regarding fate
