Koleffektiv produktion av metan eller metanol frĂĄn skoglig biomassa

Project Summary – Methane or Methanol? Sustainable methane and methanol both have the potential to play a crucial role in the decarbonization of industry and society, serving as transportation fuels, hydrogen carriers, or feedstocks for producing a wide range of other chemicals and fuels. This project focused on evaluating and comparing the conditions for methane- and methanol-based value chains within the West Sweden Chemicals and Materials Cluster, with production based on biomass gasification. Electrification was

Large scale production of Biochar as feed to metallurgic industry

Summary The steel industry is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to its reliance on fossil coal. Transitioning to a circular and bio-based economy necessitates innovative approaches to reduce these emissions.​ This project endeavours to study a fluidisation reactor concept capable of large-scale, cost-effective biocarbon production. The envisioned technology aims to integrate seamlessly with existing combined heat and power (CHP) plants, leveraging current infrastructures to produce sustainable biocarbon.​ A key focus
