Area 1 Biorefineries
We use thermochemical, biochemical and syngas technologies for the development of biomass-, residues- and waste-based biorefineries.
Area 2 Digital Methods and Solutions
We consistently use digital tools for technology development, technology integration into sustainable energy and resource systems and optimization of operation.
Area 3 Sustainable Supply and Value Cycles
We examine the entire value cycle from the resource to the end product and its market, including recycling and energy / material recovery.
