NORDICCS CCS roadmap
- 2014
-
In: Energy Procedia. - : Elsevier BV. - 1876-6102. ; 51, s. 1-13
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Nordic CCS roadmap is developed in the NORDICCS project, a collaborative research project between leading CCS research institutions in the five Nordic countries. The roadmap will outline jointly developed Nordic strategies for widespread implementation of CCS in the Nordic countries in order to help Nordic industries meet a carbon constrained future with a high price on carbon emissions. It will identify pathways and milestones for large-scale Nordic implementation of CCS resulting in beneficial economies of scale that will increase the likelihood of implementation. Several novel cases will be presented that reveal future Nordic opportunities, including industrial CCS where emitters have large point sources of CO2 localized in clusters, and natural gas sweetening with the potential for use of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) to defray the costs. Recommendations will be made for actions relating to joint political work in the Nordic region for improving the framework conditions for CCS.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Sickness absence is a common consequence of road traffic crashes, with high costs for the individual and society. Yet, scarcely studied, therefore, the aim was to describe sickness absence among injured car occupants. A population-based study using register data was conducted, including all car occupants of working age living in Sweden, who in 2010 had specialised in-or outpatient healthcare due to a car crash (n=9427). Individuals were categorised based on age, sex, and injury type. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for a new sickness absence spell >14 days were estimated. After excluding the 9% already on sickness absence or disability pension, 10% had a new sickness absence spell >14 days. Sex and crash type were not associated with new sickness absence, while old age and being born outside Europe were associated with higher odds ratios. Odds ratios varied with the type of injury and injured body region. The odds ratio for sickness absence was highest for injuries to the spine and spinal cord odds ratio: 8.64 (95% confidence interval 6.45-11.57). Traumatic brain injuries except concussion had an odds ratio of 6.99 (4.04-12.08) while concussions had an odds ratio of 2.66 (1.80-3.93).

Development of whiplash associated disorders for male and female car occupants in cars launched since the 80s in different impact directions

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim was to investigate the development of Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) leading to long-term consequences for drivers separated for gender in cars introduced at different year intervals and in different impact directions. An additional aim was to analyze the influence of various whiplash preventive concepts on WAD in rear impacts. The developments were studied for cars grouped into 5-year intervals according to year of introduction separated for frontal, side and rear-end impacts and for gender. All drivers (24,452) reporting WAD during the years 1998-2012, and those reporting symptoms > 1 month as well as those with permanent impairment, were included. Whiplash preventive concepts were grouped according to car make and concept. A reduction in risk of long-term consequences after reporting initial symptoms of WAD were found in rearend and side impacts comparing cars introduced on the market 1980-84 and 2005-2009. No reduction was found in frontal impacts. This clearly shows that more focus on preventive interventions for frontal impacts is needed. Existing seat concepts aimed at lowering the risk of WAD were found to reduce the risk of long-term consequences after reporting initial symptoms of WAD. However, seats with energy absorption in the seat back, passive seats or reactive seats are more effective for females than seats with Reactive Head Restraints, which showed no major reduction of WAD with long-term consequences compared with standard seats.
