Absorption of carbon dioxide occurs in several processes. In the production of biogas or synthetic natural gas from biomass, carbon dioxide must be removed from the produced gas before it can be used as a vehicle fuel or injected into the natural gas network. In the chemical industry, there is often a need to separate carbon dioxide from gas streams. Carbon dioxide capture can also be used for Car

The Division of Chemical Engineering has a long history in biorefinery. The work is driven by society's need to reduce the use of fossil raw materials. Production of chemicals from biomassThe research uses different types of biomass, mainly lignocellulose from trees, as a raw material for the production of chemicals. The conversion can be done by both thermochemical and biochemical processes. The

Hydrogen fuel cells are electrochemical cells converting the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity. Hydrogen stores about ten times more energy than lithium-ion battery packs, including the weight of the hydrogen tanks. This is one of the reasons why hydrogen is seen as an enabler for electrification of vehicles that could be challenging to electrify using batteries. Such vehicles are typic

District heating and cooling systems distribute heat and cooling from a central location to residential and commercial buildings. Hot water, steam or cold water is produced at a central plant and distributed through a pipe network. These systems can integrate renewable energy sources like waste heat, geothermal energy, biomass, and renewable electricity. They are seen as a key component in reducin

Hydrogen fueled and electrical powertrains are seen as the primary pathways for future sustainable road transport. In our research we focus on hydrogen internal combustion engines. Hydrogen engines offer high efficiency, and the use of hydrogen as fuel means that emissions associated with carbon atoms do not occur. This means that hydrogen engines do not produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hy
