Background: Hotels are considered a risky environment because guests are not expected to be awake and are expected to have poor local knowledge. Although hotels doesn’t have acceptable fire protection according to the only previously known study in this area. This is a problem because every four to five days there is a hotel fire. The hotels would be able to reach an acceptable fire safety by pursuing a systematic fire protection and take certain construction actions. Aim: Identifying details that need to be introduced in hotels daily work with fire protection based on the Swedish law and case studies. Method: A literature review and two case studies of hotel fires. Results: The hotel in Sweden followed the Swedish legislation in force in 2009 and had a good organizational fire protection. The hotel mainly needed to improve was the structural fire protection, adapted for disabled people, control of the acoustics in the evacuation alarm and had more smoke detectors. The hotel in England didn’t follow the law in force in England in 2007 and was nearly entirely lacking fire protection. They needed primarily improve the structural fire protection, adapted for disabled people, upgrade their alarm, had several smoke detectors and had a systematic fire protection. Conclusion: Swedish legislation still needs to be clear up because there is still room for interpretation of the laws as they are functional requirements. It is good that the Swedish legislation has adapted to fires that already has occurred in Sweden, but what could be done better today is motivate hotels to get involved in their fire protection. A committed management in hotels means better systematic fire protections and more money spend on the fire protection. One way to motivate hotel managements is to further inform about the consequences of a fire and to encourage hotels to certify themselves. But is not enough to only have a good systematic fire protection, the technical fire protection also needs to upgrade. It should be introduce higher demands that the hotels should be more handicap-friendly and update their fire alarms, because it saves lives and lower the material damage.

The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights the great threats of climate change. The chemical industry, including the pharmaceutical sector, is one of the significant contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), representing nearly 7% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. For this industry to reach net-zero emissions of CO2, measures beyond mitigation actions need to be taken. This thesis investigates the elimination of CO2 emissions in the Swedish pharmaceutical sector and evaluates the implementation of the rather new technology of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), using currently available amine-based post-combustion processes. This thesis presents a comprehensive assessment of different criteria based on the PESTLE (Political, Economical, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental) framework and considers their relative importance from a company perspective. Two alternative scenarios based on the emissions goals set by the case company are developed and evaluated through this Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)-based PESTLE framework. BECCS deployment targeting net negative emissions would be preferable for the case company since it offers benefits in environmental, social and long-term economical aspects. From the economic aspect, the specific cost for capturing CO2 could be around 1281 SEK per tonne, higher than the present European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) price and typical investment cost for afforestation projects. Most opportunities are identified within the environmental and social aspects, but some economic, technological and regulatory challenges should be addressed to realise the BECCS implementation in the Swedish Pharmaceutical Industry. / Den senaste rapporten från Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change belyser de stora hoten med klimatförändringar. Den kemiska industrin, inklusive läkemedelssektorn, är en av de betydande bidragarna till de globala växthusgasutsläppen , som står för nästan 7 % av deglobala koldioxidutsläppen (CO2). För att denna industri ska nå nettonollutsläpp av CO2 måste åtgärder vidtas utöver begränsningsåtgärder. Detta examensarbete undersöker eliminering av CO2-utsläpp i den svenska läkemedelssektorn och utvärderarimplementeringen av den relativt nya teknologin, koldioxidlagring från biomassa, med hjälpav tillgängliga aminbaserade efterförbränningsprocesser. Detta examensarbete presenterar en omfattande bedömning av olika kriterier baserade på PESTLE (politiska, ekonomiska, sociala, tekniska, juridiska och miljömässiga) ramar och tar hänsyn till deras relativa betydelse ur ett företagsperspektiv. Två alternativa scenarier baserade på utsläppsmålen som ställts upp av företaget utvecklas och utvärderas genom detta multikriterie-baserade PESTLE-ramverket. Koldioxidlagring med inriktning på negativa utsläpp skulle vara att föredra för företaget eftersom det erbjuder fördelar i miljömässiga, sociala och långsiktiga ekonomiska aspekter. Ur den ekonomiska aspekten kan den specifika kostnaden för att fånga upp CO2 vara cirka 1 281 SEK per ton, högre än det nuvarande priset för Europeiska unionens utsläppshandelssystem (EU ETS) och den typiska investeringskostnaden för skogsplanteringsprojekt. De flesta möjligheter identifieras inom den miljömässiga och sociala aspekten, men vissa ekonomiska, tekniska och regulatoriska utmaningar bör lösas för att förverkliga implementeringen av koldioxidlagring i svensk läkemedelsindustri.
