Bio4Energy’s training on the scale up of bio-based innovations is starting again in September. The application is open as of today. The backdrop is substantial new investments in test beds and development facilities in the region of northern Sweden where the research environment is based. “We will go onsite visiting not only pilot [installations] of […]
A Swedish funder of research in the bio-based sector has announced the largest investment ever in the northern European country in terms of sustainable material science, and notably in infrastructure to advance it. Bio4Energy partner Luleå University of Technology (LTU) is one of seven research universities to benefit, having won a hefty SEK52 million (€4.6 […]
A number of Bio4Energy research leaders have won funds in this year’s round of grants from the prestigious Swedish Research Council VR. VR made its announcement this month, unveiling multi-million Swedish kronor grants to fund scientific research projects in its category for Natural and Engineering Sciences. The projects and their participants are listed, as follows. […]
As economies are moving closer to a substantial fossil fuel phase-out, the need increases for a total overview of what the bio-based sector can bring to the table to replace it. Bio4Energy researcher Carlos Martín Medina, Biopolymers and Biochemical Conversion, has spearheaded one such initiative giving an overview of how far we have come in […]
The 2022 Bio4Energy Annual Report is out, breathing optimism and comeback after the years with the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It tells the tale of launching a new website for the research environment and of rising numbers of PhD defenses passed. PhDs in this context are advanced students in Bio4Energy’s sector of biorefinery and bioenergy based on […]
Bio4Energy researchers are behind a breakthrough innovation that can be used to make bio-based and biodegradable hydrogels. Hydrogels are key components in materials used to restore or maintain human health such as wound healing, tissue engineering, artificial organs or everyday contact lenses. The ingenuity of hydrogels lies in a dichotomy: While they are able to […]
Field trials of transgenic aspen trees have confirmed that genetic modification is indeed a possible avenue for rendering wood less resistant to breakdown into components suitable for making biofuel, “green” chemicals or bio-based materials. Research just out shows not only how to modify tree plants for superior yield of desired sugar-based content, but also offers industry […]
Bio4Energy wants to wish its members and followers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! What have you got coming for 2023? Bio4Energy has more research and development, a new course in the Bio4Energy Graduate School, as well as a continued aim for excellence and usefulness of results produced. We hope that you will […]
While a part of the research community is trying to develop plastics from bio-based materials; as an alternative to petrochemicals; a group of Bio4Energy researchers are looking at how to reuse or recycle traditional plastic using bio-based processes. Two projects were granted last month, one by the national funders Swedish Research Council and more recently […]
