International cooperation in focus at Nordic Wood Biorefinery Conference
In October, the Nordic Wood Biorefinery Conference, held for the first time in Örnsköldsvik, brought together participants from all over the world to discuss the future of biorefinery with the forest as the main resource. A new feature of the conference was the matchmaking event, which was an appreciated springboard for new international collaborations and exchanges of ideas.
New technology can save more forest plants
Every year, around 30-40 million tree seedlings are produced at Holmen Skog's nurseries around the country. Of these, around five percent are lost each year. Using hyperspectral cameras, RISE, together with Holmen and Umeå University, has in a unique project, Digiplant, investigated the possibilities of automating the monitoring of the seedlings. This can both reduce waste and open up new areas of application for the technology.
Regional experiences towards a bioeconomy blueprint
In Mid-August a regional strategic co-creation workshop, organized by organized by RISE together with BioFuel Region, took place in Örnsköldsvik, northern Sweden. The purpose was to bring together different stakeholders in the bioeconomy sector to jointly discuss the proposal for the Swedish bioeconomy strategy, the priorities that were highlighted reflect what is important from our regional perspective. This was one of the steps towards the project’s upcoming bioeconomy blueprint.
International technology group ANDRITZ has acquired a Processum Biorefinery Cluster member company
PulpEye AB is a member company of the Processum Biorefinery Cluster and develops online pulp analyzers, measurements and controls for the global pulp and paper industry. In early September, it was announced that the international technology group ANDRITZ had acquired the company.
New name for a world-leading cluster for the development and commercialization of biorefinery processes
For 20 years, Processum has built an innovation cluster based on experience in industry-oriented research and development in collaboration between existing industrial members in the cluster and RISE. Now the cluster has a new name, Processum Biorefinery Cluster, which will soon rename Processum's existing channels and contribute to increasing awareness of the cluster's offering, both regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Biotech initiative creates the art of the future
How can we accelerate the development of new bio-based innovations and find new value chains? In August, RISE in Örnsköldsvik, together with Innovationsbolaget and Cass Materials AB, is organizing the Creative Biotech Workshop. A completely new initiative that will bring together science, art and creativity and is led by entrepreneur and creative researcher Gary Cass.
Steps forward for new materials from bird feathers
The Processum Biorefinery Cluster is currently making exciting new progress on the UNLOCK project to extract keratin from bird feathers and demonstrate it on a pre-commercial scale. In collaboration with Sekab, large-scale tests were recently conducted in Sekab's Biorefinery Demo Plant (BDP) at the High Coast Innovation Park, to verify how the processing of feathers works in continuous operation. An important piece of the puzzle in the work to commercialize the process.
