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 research report—covering five years of investigations—shows that microalgae grown in cold and dark conditions may not only be made to thrive on their own, but also remove the heavy metal content of industrial wastewater that conventional treatment plants do not filter out. The high performing algal strain selected also turned out to produce ample […]
Mini FEATURE. Northern Sweden, last week was home to advanced students affiliated with universities in Finland, Czech Republic, Belgium and Sweden—spending an intensive week at the city of Umeå—to learn about the frontline of science of wood biology and biotechnology. Hosted by a leading wood biologists, Ewa Mellerowicz of the Umeå Plant Science Centre and […]
Bio4Energy’s new coordinator for member organisation Bio-based Industries’ Consortium, Carlos Martín of Umeå University, is in Brussels, Belgium to network with industry members with a view to lay the foundations for an EU project. February 8 BIC members met to network with companies, consultants and academics. The aim is jointly to apply for funds from […]
Bio4Energy’s new coordinator for BioInnovation, Swedish funder of bio-based innovations, is Ulrika Rova, professor at Luleå University of Technology. Rova sees herself not only as the research environment’s representative with an overview of possibilities for applying for funds, but also as a facilitator and a bearer of information to potential collaboration partners representing other organisations […]
The recent Bio4Energy Researchers’ Meeting, drawing together sixty of its researchers to meet at Umea in northern Sweden, is real-life example of the deliveries that Bio4Energy took on making as a Strategic Research Environment, appointed by the Swedish government. Biomass input materials for making renewable fuels, chemicals and materials The members of the Bio4Energy Forest-based […]
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 […]
Regional collaboration and research in the areas of thermochemical conversion of biomass and feedstock pre-processing, respectively, were on the menu as Bio4Energy scientists and advanced students met at Skellefteå, Sweden this month. The event showed, most notably, that a good decade after its start, the Bio4Energy research environment is indeed doing what it set out […]
A Bio4Energy PhD student at Umeå University (UmU) has won a prize for his work on waste management, bio-based materials and recycling, by a Sweden-based institute that represents his home country, France. In his research, Pierre Oesterle investigates ways to re-use by products from forestry industry; and the ways in which these can made 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 […]
