How can testbeds and business networks accelerate the green transition? This was one of the key topics when companies, researchers, and experts gathered at Cleantech Meetup to discuss the challenges
Long-term partnerships for scale-up, a new e-fuel plant at the High Coast Innovation Park and new projects to address key environmental and consumer challenges in sustainable agriculture and the alternative protein market. Read about these and more in our latest newsletter.
Tree tops, branches, sawdust and other residual streams that are not used in the forest industry's processes are in many cases burned as biofuel today. Using new technology, RISE and the company Nynas AB (publ) are investigating how unused forest materials from the forest can be converted into a bio-based binder for greener asphalt with less impact on the climate.
In November, RISE hosted a workshop in Örnsköldsvik within the MainstreamBIO project. The Biomodel4Regions project was invited and participated in the workshop and gave a presentation as well as the regional innovation and export platform North Sweden Cleantech, that gave a brief overview of their work with innovation power for green transition. Through symbiosis between the projects, many common challenges and opportunities in the bioeconomy were highlighted. Through symbiosis between the projects, many important discussions and common challenges and opportunities in the bioeconomy were highlighted, with a focus on SMEs in northern Sweden.
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.
RISE 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.
