My research is about developing systems to supply and use agricultural crops and residual streams for biorefinery processes to produce energy, fuels, biomaterials, etc., preferably in combination with food and feed. Current projects focus on using grass and straw.

ABATE, turning biomass into green fuel

The ABATE project aims to demonstrate the integration of thermochemical and biochemical processes to convert biomass residues into advanced bio-based refinery intermediates for sustainable transportation fuels.

Production of single cell protein from waste streams in a biorefinery

Biorefineries based on forage crops are an interesting concept that can contribute to environmental benefits and increased self-sufficiency. This project focuses on improving a large-scale biorefinery based on fresh forage, with t…

Green transition and energy access in urban and rural Africa

ENERGICA is a Horizon 2020-project with 28 partners from Africa and Europe. The objective of the project is to demonstrate efficient implementation of renewable energy technologies to match local contexts’ needs. The innovative so…

Smart storage and supply of straw for biorefinery

The ambition for a sustainable society free of fossil fuels has increased the demand for bio-based products and consequently, the demand for biomass. Straw is an interesting resource that is not used to its full potential today an…

Flexible supply of agricultural and forestry residues, a business oppo

In this project, we investigated how, by combining flows from agriculture and forestry, it is possible to better supply the new emerging bio-based industry with raw materials while creating new business opportunities for the indiv…

Forage based products for monogastric animals - a step towards commerc

This project is about refining grass to meet a demand for proteins for, above all, organic poultry production and an expected increased demand for soy-free feed solutions for monogastric animals. Forage-based products also improve…

Extraction of protein for improved value chain for ley grass to biofue

Agricultural crops contain many components with the potential to contribute to the bio-based economy. In this project, we wanted to use ley grass, which is grown on almost half of Sweden's arable land, for the production of ethano…

Digestion of poultry manure, deep litter manure, horse manure

Solid manure is a poorly used resource in Sweden but by anaerobic digestion this can be change. It has the potential to contribute with 1 TWh biogas/year. Furthermore, nitrogen is largely in organically bound form but by digestion…

Residues from cereal production for the Swedish biobased industry

To meet the demand for Swedish biomass in the transition to a bioeconomy, cereal residues are important. Here we wanted to improve knowledge on the chemical composition and methane potential of residues from cereal production, eva…

Demonstration of innovative integrated biomass logistics for the Agro-

This project was about utilization of non-used resources and residues to create new business lines and products at agro-industries. In the Swedish part straw-based ethanol production will was improved by improved logistics and bio…
