RISE PFISustainabilityClimate action
UN Sustainability Goal 13:Climate action

Our research and innovation projects support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in different ways. We develop new materials, chemicals and energy products based on renewable raw materials that can substitute fossil-based products or other products with high carbon footprint.

Examples include:

  • Biofuels as substitution of fossil-based fuels
  • Biocarbon as reductant in metal production, substituting fossil coal
  • Biobased packaging materials, substituting fossil-based plastic
  • Biobased chemicals

Further, we develop new processes or process improvements leading to reduced energy consumption in industry processes. We also develop processes for production of biocarbon grades for soil enhancement. As the biocarbon is not degraded in the soil, biocarbon for soil improvement will also bind carbon. Hence, our research supports UN sustainability subgoal 13.2, specifically target 13.2.2:

Target 13.2.2: “Total greenhouse gas emissions per year.”

UN sustainability subgoal 13.2
