Renewable energy
Bioenergy is renewable energy made available from materials derived from biological sources. Biomass is any organic material which has stored sunlight in the form of chemical energy.
Department of Biosystems and Technology
At the Department of Biosystems and Technology we explore interactions between soil, plants, animals, environment, climate and humans in systems for sustainable production of food and renewable raw
About us
The research school Sustainable systems for food, energy and biomaterials (SSFEB) is an umbrella organization, open to all postgraduate students who are active within the field of sustainable biomass
Activities
Our activities include seminars, workshops and field trips that aim to enrich our students knowledge and promote networking with other researchers, society and industry. Please contact the director
Courses
Within our PhD-courses we offer participating students broad knowledge and insight in the field of sustainable systems of food, energy and biomaterials systems. The courses typically include

Research
Our research is organised under seven subject areas where we develop knowledge about forest ecosystems and the processes that drive them. This knowledge is then transferred to best forest management
Department of Forest Ecology and Management
Our mission is to advance the understanding of forest ecosystem processes and to progress the principles of forest ecosystem management
Project SYNAG
The aim of the syntrophic aggregation (SYNAG) project is to improve acid degradation in biogas processes by bringing cooperating (syntrophic) microorganisms into close proximity in multicellular
Nordic-Baltic workshop
Boreal peatlands provide an important carbon sink and play a key role in the global carbon cycle and climate system. During the past century, >10 million ha of natural peatlands have been drained in
SLU Biogas Center
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
Biogas research at the Department of Economics
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
Ongoing projects
Our goal is to generate knowledge that allows a controlled manangement of the microbiological biogas process. We aim to reach high effectivity, stability and biogas production in constructed reactors
