Research areas

  • Energy efficiency analysis of industrial chemical processes and industrial process clusters using process integration methods and tools

  • Rational use of biomass in industrial energy systems, including biorefinery concepts based on solid biomass feedstock and black liquor gasification

  • Process integration and techno-economic analysis of biorefinery concepts in industrial applications

  • Methodology development for long-term assessment of economic and climate-change impact of energy projects in industrial energy systems (with an emphasis on biorefineries and CHP)

  • Development of future energy market scenarios, including fuel prices, reference electric power production technologies and generation costs, and costs associated with energy and climate-change policy instruments
