Research areas

The research on Energy Engineering is divided into the following areas.

Thermochemical conversion processes

The research is targeted at production of fuels, materials, electricity and heat through combustion, gasification and pyrolysis of fuels.

Ionic liquids for energy applications

The long term goal of our research within the area of Ionic liquids for energy applications is to understand, simulate and evaluate ionic liquids for different applications, e.g. gas separation & -conversion, batteries, absorption cycles, etc.

Energy efficiency

We study aspects related to energy efficiency at component, process and system level, with focus in particular on buildings and industry.

Energy system analysis

The research is targeted at the transition to a sustainable future, including but not limited to, studies related to new technologies, process integration and policy measures, as well as to overall energy systems aspect on local, urban, national and supranational level.
