The Forest Products and Chemical Engineering unit develops sustainable processes and advanced materials from forest-based resources.
Our research spans mechanistic understanding of established pulping processes , forest biomass based biorefinery , cellulose functionalization, lignin characterization, and the fabrication of high-performance materials.
By connecting fundamental knowledge with industrially relevant technologies, we aim to improve resource and energy efficiency, increase the value of cellulose, lignin, and xyaln, and enhance the international competitiveness of forest-based products.
Our expertise also supports the transition toward more sustainable chemical and food industries in Sweden and across Europe.
