Welcome to this Environment & Society open online seminar:   Nicolas von Drachenfels, PhD student at Technischen Universität Braunschweig: “Using LCA to assess innovations in battery cell production – methods and results developed at Battery LabFactory Braunschweig” – Nicolas will present how methods developed at the Battery LabFactory Braunschweig (BLB) aim to increase the applicability […]

Both batteries and fuel cells can be utilized for energy storage for electric vehicles. While both technologies can be utilized the different technologies offer benefits and challenges. What aspects need to be considered and how can they be weighed against each other? In this online workshop representatives from AB Volvo, Toyota Sweden and Renova will […]

Welcome to a workshop related to the modeling and simulation of electrochemical vehicles. The workshop will include presentations related to the modeling of electrochemical powertrain components, hands-on activities with a simulation platform developed at LiU, and also discussions related to the future need for research and development in the area. The simulation platform is a […]

The fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles needs to grow at a high rate to balance the desired and expected growth of the fully electric vehicle fleet. Each charger is built with switching power electronics and is thus a source of high-frequency noise that can be both conducted and radiated.   When a charging site with […]

As a part of the SEC project “Chemical quenchers for inhibition of battery fires” a workshop on battery fire research will be arranged in Lund on March 23rd. The aim is to cover a broad range of activities related to battery fire research and to initiate a discussion on future research directions.   Among the […]

Agriculture is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, and it is a sector that is difficult to electrify due to challenging demands. In this open online seminar arranged by the thematic area Environment & Society, Dr. Oscar Lagnelöv from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences presents the findings of his PhD thesis work entitled "Electric autonomous […]

Welcome to a workshop on aging in electromobility components. The aim of the workshop is to present mechanisms causing component wear and aging, and models on how to describe these mechanisms. You will meet researchers from several SEC theme areas.   Preliminary agenda 13.00 Welcome and introduction 13.15 Ageing of batteries – Andy Naylor (UU) 13.45 […]

Theme 4 welcomes you to an online seminar with Mattias Goldmann and Viktor Werner.   Mattias Goldmann – ”Swedish and European climate targets and the transition of the transport sector”. Being one of the prominent voices in the Swedish climate mitigation debate, Mattias Goldmann will share his broad knowledge about different policy instruments on the […]

For the degree of Doctor of Technology at Linköping University to be publicly defended. It will be possible to attend online. Link to Abstract in Swedish and English   Date:      […]

The circular economy is presented as a solution for mitigating challenges of society’s increasing appetite for material resources. The benefits are often taken for granted, but our research shows that the environmental potential can vary significantly and that, for example, gains from extending the use of products and materials can be offset by the efforts […]

Interested in understanding how surrounding traffic affects the energy consumption in an electric vehicle? Range certification uses standard driving cycles, like VLTP, but does not reflect the true energy consumption as surrounding traffic and driving style have a huge impact. Theme 1 invites you to a workshop on traffic flow and driver modeling. Different tools […]

Description Welcome to this seminar, where some first outcome of the project “Logging of electric vehicles - characterization of charging patterns and grid impacts” will be presented and discussed. The aim of the project is to increase the understanding of charging and driving patterns from electric cars and then use the new knowledge to, among […]

Are you a decision-maker, researcher or an expert in business or the public sector, or in other ways working towards a fossil-free mobility sector? Welcome to a conference where we will examine the intersection of business, technology, research and policy, seeking collaborative strategies and innovative solutions in turning the global emission targets into a tangible […]

This open online seminar with theme Environment & Society will focus on the electrification and use of alternative fuels for the propulsion of ships. We welcome two invited speakers to share their insight from work in the ongoing transition away from fossil fuel use in the marine sector.   First speaker: Selma Brynolf, Chalmers Title: […]
