Participants: Joakim Lundgren (LTU, P1), Kentaro Umeki (LTU, P4), Robert Lundmark (LTU, P1)

Duration: 2026-2027

This project develops an agent-based modelling approach to investigate how integrated value chains for biogenic CO₂, biochar and green methanol may evolve within northern Sweden’s regional energy systems. The work explores how different ownership structures, investment decisions and infrastructure configurations influence economic and system-level outcomes.

By simulating interactions between industrial actors and future energy systems, the project aims to provide knowledge relevant for sustainable system design, policy development and emerging bio-based industries.

Call: Annual 2026
