NTNU Team Bio energy gathers a multidisciplinary group of experts working on topics spanning:

• biomass production and crop resilience
• catalysis for biomass conversion
• biofuels and biorefineries, including:
  • pre-treatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosics for second generation biofuels
  • computational and experimental analysis of integrated biorefinery systems that integrate multiple conversion processes to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness while adding value to multiple feedstocks
• energy recovery of bio-originated and solid municipal wastes
• sustainability assessment of bioenergy systems, including:
• LCA of biofuels and bioenergy
  • sustainable land management systems for biofuels
  • mapping of land availability and biomass resource potentials to address challenges related to climate change mitigation
  • environmental sustainability of bio-based chemicals and polymers derived from lignocellulosic materials
