However, a new group of scholars have studied the term from a new perspective. Within this new perspective, informality has a strong relationship with the state, specifically in relation to how informality emerges and appears in physical space. This thesis departs from these scholars and aims to understand the relationship between state and informality from a Swedish municipal perspective, by examining the state’s motivations and interpretations of place and legality. A case in the municipality of Halmstad has been analysed using concepts from this new perspective in order to understand how the informal practice emerged and to analyse its relation to the state. Three different perceptions of how the relationship between the state and informality works have been depicted in order to draw comparisons with the study case. In this way, the thesis is able to draw clear conclusions about what kind of relationship there is in Halmstad municipality.

  • Vindkraftverk - Inverkan På Flyttfåglar Över Halmstad Kommun
    Högskolan i Halmstad Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik Miljövetareprogrammet Halmstad 2009-02-07 Vindkraftverk - inverkan på flyttfåglar över Halmstad kommun Författare: Thomas Hultquist Handledare: Per Magnus Ehde 1 Sammanfattning Vindkraft är ett känsligt område att studera, eftersom det finns både ekonomiska och ekologiska intressen som berörs. I dagens energikrävande samhälle behövs ett renare alternativ till el som producerats från förbränning. Ett alternativ är vindkraft. Vindkraften byggs ut i en stor omfattning och hela Sverige berörs av denna utbyggnad. När det är så stora ekonomiska intressen inblandat finns det risk att andra intressen åsidosätts. Förhoppningen är att den här studien ger en förbättrad kunskap om hur vindkraftsanläggningar påverkar vissa fåglar. Studien omfattar Halmstad kommun och enskilda vindkraftsverk. Metoden har varit att sammanställa äldre rapporter av sträckande fåglar för att hitta en lämplig lokal att utföra fältstudier på samt att utföra fältstudierna i närheten av vindkraftsanläggningar. Studien som utfördes under en begränsad tidsperiod resulterade i att materialet är för magert, för att kunna dra några säkra slutsatser från. Det material som erhölls visar dock att de sträckande fåglarna flyger på en högre höjd än vindkraftverkens 75-150 meters höjd, de fåglar som sträcker på en lägre höjd hinner väja och väljer att flyga runt eller över. Vindkraften bör kunna byggas ut i Sverige, förutsatt att det sker under större kontroll och efter mer omfattande undersökningar hur det påverkar fågellivet. Studien ger inget svar på om vindkraft är den rätta energikällan att satsa på utan är ett bidrag till en utökad kunskap för framtida beslut. 2 Abstract Wind power is a difficult subject to study, since it is both economical and ecological interests involved.

    Master's Programme in Renewable Energy systems MASTER Bio-energy production from beach cast macro algae THESIS The west coast of Sweden Meaza Tadesse Yohannes Energy Engineering, 15 credits Halmstad 2015-08-31 0 ABSTRACT Excessive algae growth/ bloom has become a commonly observed phenomenon in many water bodies globally due to eutrophication. This phenomenon has also been observed in the Baltic Sea which create nuisance in many Baltic coastal communities when the macro algae of different species is washed ashore by wind and wave, which is known as “beach cast algae”. In recent years various Baltic projects has been commenced in order to utilize “beach cast algae” for energy production via anaerobic digestion technology. Harvesting beach cast macro algae for energy production not only give a renewable energy but also improve tourism and recreation, as well as largely contribute towards the marine ecosystem by reducing nutrient load. However, high concentration of heavy metal especially of cadmium in macro algae has limited the potential of anaerobic digestion since cadmium would limit the bio-fertilizer potential of the fermentation residue/digestate. Different heavy metal removal technique has been suggested so far but their potential on large scale application as well as the economic and environmental aspects of the removal techniques are unknown. The present thesis focuses on the west coast of Sweden and evaluate the possibility of combustion of beach cast macro algae in an already existing waste incineration plant. Furthermore, three different scenarios for energy extraction from beach cast macro algae are compared from energy balance perspective. The study was based on a case study, literature review and energy balance analysis.

    EXPLORING THE PATHS THE TRANSITION TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEM FOR A SWEDISH MUNICIPALITY Master’s thesis in Sustainable Energy Systems JOHN JOHANNESSON Department of Energy and Environment CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Göteborg 2016 EXPLORING THE PATHS The Transition Towards a Sustainable Energy System for a Swedish Municipality © JOHN JOHANNESSON, 2016 Supervisor: Germán Maldonado Examiner: Erik Ahlgren Department of Energy and Environment Chalmers University of Technology SE-412 96 Göteborg Sweden Telephone + 49 (0)31-772 1000 i ABSTRACT About three fourths of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions can be linked to energy use. This study aims to identify some driving forces behind the development of an energy system and how these forces can drive the development of a sustainable energy system. The study focuses on a single Swedish municipality, Halmstad. A secondary purpose has been to analyse some concepts of energy system forecasting. The energy system can be described as a sociotechnical system. Three related mechanisms discussed in the study are learning by doing, lock-in and technology clusters. To gain an understanding of the structure and development of the energy system, data and information regarding the import, production and consumption of energy was collected. To make the forecasts in this thesis, the method of logistic forecasting has been used. Halmstad’s generation capacity for electricity as of 2015 is 61 MW and consists primarily of wind power (40%), followed by hydropower (36%), combined heat and power generation (22%) and solar photovoltaics (2%). District heating is supplied by two plants: a 68 MW capacity waste-incineration plant, supplemented when needed by a natural gas and wood chip-fired 122 MW capacity plant.

Ökningen smälter inlandsisarna och Antarktis samt expanderar havet vilket höjer havsnivån och påverkar erosion. Denna havsnivåhöjning med tilläggande stormar höjer havsnivån markant och påverkar kustkommuner. Olika RCP scenarion är framtagna för att förutse hur framtiden kommer att se ut år 2100. Vilken av RCP scenarion som kan inträffa beror på hur klimatpolitiken och utsläppen fortskrider. Syftet är att skapa ett kunskapsunderlag för Halmstad kommun med föreslagna naturbaserade klimatanpassningsåtgärder utmed kusten. Arbetet fokuseras på omvärldsanalys, vilket genomförts i form av intervjuer från kustkommuner och litteraturstudie från rapporter. Naturbaserade klimatanpassningsåtgärder har funktionen att skydda mot havshöjning och erosion men ökar även biologisk mångfald samt skapar rekreation. Redovisade åtgärder är sandstaket,
