The transition towards a climate-neutral energy and industrial system requires the development of integrated and robust bio-based value chains that can simultaneously address emission reductions, resource efficiency, and system flexibility. In this context, the combined value chains of biogenic CO₂,...

This project investigates harvest leakage, a phenomenon where reduced logging in one country can lead to increased harvesting in others. Such leakage can undermine climate action and biodiversity goals via global value chains. By analyzing historical data and future scenarios in Sweden, the project ...

A long-term and sustainable raw material supply of forest biomass is affected by policy-instruments, but also by the behavior of different categories of forest-owners as well as by market characteristics via the supply and demand of different assortments of forest biomass. The project analyzes the c...

The research environment Bio4Energy aims to create highly efficient and environmentally-sound biorefinery processes – including methods and tools for making products such as biofuels, "green" chemicals and new biobased materials – which draw on biomass sourced from forests or organic waste as a raw ...
