Check-in: moisture content – radiowave arrival measurement on roundwood and chip trucks
The moisture content of wood chips and fuel- and pulpwood is important for both logistics and industrial processes. Today’s methods for measuring the moisture content of wood chips are slow, and the methods for roundwood…

Wood powder firing in directly heated grain dryers for increased resource efficiency and lower CO2-emissions
Large amounts of grain are dried each year, corresponding to about 150 000 tons of water in Sweden. In industrial scale, drying is done with combustion heat in dryers that supply heat directly by contact…

Lignin-based batteries
The project aims to develop new natural, water-based organic redox solutions based on lignin, such as electrolytes in a flow coil. These have the potential to drastically reduce the cost of energy storage for stationary…

Bioflex – biobased energy carriers and their contribution to a flexible energy system
Bioflex aims at increasing the flexibility, redundancy, and robustness of the energy system by integrating biobased energy carriers (biohydrogen/biogas) with electrolytic hydrogen. By combining 2 energy carriers, the project intends to investigate possible synergy effects…
