SLU's initiative for biobased materials and fuels

Within the  initiative for biobased materials and fuels, research is conducted on the entire value chain from the primary production of agriculture and forestry to various materials and the properties of fuels.

This initiative coordinates and strengthens research in the field and aims to make us a more obvious partner nationally in the field.

Primary production and raw material properties

We have knowledge of the relationships between primary production and raw material properties, from nano to macro level, and can produce raw materials with the desired properties.

From raw materials to biobased materials and fuels

We research the relationships between the biological raw materials and biobased materials and the properties of fuels. We use chemical and molecular biological techniques as well as classical plant breeding to optimize these properties.

Sustainable production systems

We investigate profitability, energy consumption, societal perspectives and climate impact for sustainable production systems.
