- Improving energy production and safety in biocarbon value chains

Integrated oxy-combustion solutions for flexible, bio-based combined heat and power

FUEL-UP aims to accelerate the deployment of advanced biofuels made from fast pyrolysis by de-risking and upscaling all the steps until fuel use. Allowing new routes to biofuels entering the market, which will mean an at least 80% emissions reduction...

ICO2NIC will couple developments in polymer membrane-based CO₂ capture technology with a novel Gas Diffusion electrochemical cell for CO₂ to formic acid conversion. Valorisation of formic acid via innovative biological processing routes will deliver...

Redesigning the Primary Sector for Maximizing Bioeconomy Development

Project development for active control of thermochemical transformations of regional biomass resources with improved quality of produced energy and increase of European climate neutrality.

BioCarbUpgrade - Upgrading biocarbon for sustainable metallurgical industries

Refinery integration, scale-up and certification for aviation and marine biofuels production.

SET4BIO will bring together private and public actors in a joint effort to mobilise resources for and stimulate investments in the large-scale deployment of bioenergy and renewable fuels in Europe.

In this knowledge-building project for industry, we develop sustainable solutions for ports as energy hubs, contributing to Norway's transition to a zero-emission society.

NoviCo will contribute to achieve EU’s ambitious objectives, by providing an innovative technological solution for the sustainable and socially acceptable conversion of low value lignocellulosic residues, such as thinnings, sawdust into biobased...

Technology aim to development of technology for complete gas conversion and energy transfer using energy storage materials between different processes.

Hydrogen provides a CO₂-free sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. A preliminary project is now being performed to investigate the production of hydrogen from waste using microbes.

BioSynGas aims at improving many aspects of biogas production plants in Norway. Biogas plants face numerous challenges most of them are related to the so called digestate, a by-product that should be exploited as it contains important nutrients that...

Norway is 2.4 % circular (2020) so there is substantial room for improvement. Increasing circularity will require a complete re-organisation of our society bringing challenges but also opportunities.

The aim of Nordic Energy Outlooks is to: “Strengthen Nordic research competence and cooperation in the field of energy systems analysis, by building on existing national research programs” [Nordic Energy Research]

How can we handle organic waste at the Zero-Emission Farm at Mære in the most sustainable way?

Reducing waste in the seafood value chain. SuMaFood intends to reduce food waste and increase the productive use of marine biomass by devising innovative methods of processing and preservation, and developing ingredients that will serve as the basis...
