Aim
The scientific focus of the Scanbalt Campus Knowledge Network “Environmental biotechnology” is: Renewable energy, chemicals and new products from forestry and agriculture. One aim is the production of bio-fuel for the transport sector based on residues (or products) from forestry and agriculture. Three areas of great interest are extraction of lignin from black liquor (kraft paper pulp process), ethanol production (separation of lignin from process streams) and gasification of biomaterial.
