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…

Biochar stability validation – reaching a new level of understanding and transparency
Biochar produced from biomass has large potential to provide negative greenhouse gas emissions as a stable carbon sink in soil. A major hurdle for biochar market establishment is the limited knowledge about the stability of…

Large scale deodorization of kraft lignin for thermoplastics – a new testbed
Kraft lignin has a great potential to replace fossil-based materials in many applications due to its availability and molecular structure. However, its characteristic smell can be an issue for indoor applications, working environment reasons and…

Biogas Scenarios
Biogas is associated with several benefits, that can support a societal transition towards a circular economy with reduced climate impacts. The national public inquiry SOU 2019:63 has therefore proposed a fivefold increase of the Swedish…
