(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Air pollution is a global challenge, and especially urban areas are particularly affected by acute episodes. Traditional approaches used to mitigate air pollution primarily consider the technical aspects of the problem but ...
    • Embedding Ethical Impact Assessment in Nanosafety Decision Support 

      Malsch, Ineke; Isigonis, Panagiotis; Dusinska, Maria; Bouman, Evert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Nanotechnology is a key enabling technology, which is developing fast and influences many aspects of life. Nanomaterials are already included in a broad range of products and industrial sectors. Nanosafety issues are still ...
    • Environmental impacts of a chemical looping combustion power plant 

      Thorne, Rebecca Jayne; Bouman, Evert; Sundseth, Kyrre; Sanchez, Maria Asuncion Aranda; Czakiert, Tomasz; Pacyna, Jozef M; Pacyna, Elisabeth G; Krauz, Mariusz; Celińska, Agnieszka (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is a promising CO2 capture option since it inherently separates CO2 from other flue components, theoretically with low energy penalty. Here, a Life Cycle Assessment model was developed of ...
    • Feasibility study for asphalt rubber pavements in Norway. ‘Rubber Road’ feasibility study. 

      Bouman, Evert; Meland, Sondre; Furuseth, Ingvild Skumlien; Tarrasón, Leonor (NILU report;38/2018, Research report, 2020)
      RubberRoad proposes to use rubber from used tires in the production of asphalt for road and bicycle ways. This recycling approach has not gained much attention in Norway despite its apparent advantages, such as noise ...

      Nanotechnologies have reached maturity and market penetration that require nano‐specific changes in legislation and harmonization among legislation domains, such as the amendments to REACH for nanomaterials (NMs) which ...
    • Technical and environmental viability of a European CO2 EOR system 

      Thorne, Rebecca Jayne; Sundseth, Kyrre; Bouman, Evert; Czarnowska, Lucyna; Mathisen, Anette; Skagestad, Ragnhild; Stanek, Wojciech; Pacyna, Jozef M; Pacyna, Elisabeth G (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Captured CO2 from large industrial emitters may be used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), but as of yet there are no European large-scale EOR systems. Recent implementation decisions for a Norwegian carbon capture and storage ...
    • Using elemental analyses and multivariate statistics to identify the off-site dispersion from informal e-waste processing 

      Mudge, Stephen Michael; Pfaffhuber, Katrine Aspmo; Fobil, Julis N.; Bouman, Evert; Uggerud, Hilde Thelle; Thorne, Rebecca Jayne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    • Using life cycle assessment to inform municipal climate mitigation planning 

      Thorne, Rebecca Jayne; Bouman, Evert; Guerreiro, Cristina; Majchrzak, Anna; Calus, Sylwia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    • Using life cycle assessment to inform municipal climate mitigation planning 

      Thorne, Rebecca Jayne; Bouman, Evert; Guerreiro, Cristina; Majchrzak, Anna; Calus, Sylwia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Local governments can play a key role in reducing emissions associated with local energy use. 17 Polish municipalities provided data on energy use and CO2 emissions for 2015. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used to calculate ...
