Bioenergy

Agriculture and forestry play a key role in the transition from fossil to renewable energy. At the department, we conduct research in the area of bioenergy with a focus on how agricultural and forestry biomass can be used efficiently and sustainably to produce, e.g. gas, electricity and heat, and how these energy systems can interact, so-called sector coupling. We also study the improvement and efficiency of technical processes and management systems and analyse climate and environmental effects, e.g. with life cycle assessment (LCA).
