Renewable energy

Fast-growing deciduous tree species can be used to replace fossil fuels and to diminish human impact on the climate. Our research contributes to a more efficient and environmentally sustainable

The forestry will together with the agricultural sector play an important role when we break free from today's fossil dependency and our future society is build. At our department we study how

Fascination of Plants Day 2019 in Umeå anne.honsel@slu.se We invite you to an event with different activities around plants and plant science. Get inspired by the fascinating world of plants! What

Our mission is to advance the understanding of forest ecosystem processes and to progress the principles of forest ecosystem management

The aim in this study is to investigate Swedish farmers’ experiences with collaborative initiatives in farm-based biogas production. The project is called "Collaboration for improved profitability

At SLU we work with the whole biogas chain. An unique feature for our research is that we answer questions about both energy generation and waste treatment. We have our own biogas plant as well as

At the department of energy and technology, research and education are conducted focusing on how agriculture can contribute to a sustainable society. We have extensive expertise in technology and

The objective is to study farm-scale production of power and heat from biogas including different flexible and demand-orientated strategies with a focus on heat. The aim is to assess the energy

Upgrading to fuel quality increases the value of biogas, but currently the costs are high at low gas flow rates. The ash from woodfuel contains a considerable amount of calcium, which has properties

Liquified biogas (LBG) is produced by reducing the temperature to < -161 °C. The carbon dioxide concentration in the biogas must be < 50 ppm and it is costly to reach that level. There is a need to

The objective is to demonstrate a cost efficient concept for small-scale upgrading of biogas and use as vehicle fuel. The technology implemented is based on the concept of in-situ methane enrichment
