Renewable Energy

The climate change challenge puts pressure on changing the ways of energy production and usage. Renewable energy resources and energy efficient technologies provide these sustainable solutions for energy use in societies. District heating is an example of how effective technologies can reduce environmental impact on urban areas. Renewable energy can be generated locally by incineration of biomass or biogas, wind turbines, hydropower or solar energy. Residual ash from the combustion of biomass can be returned to the forest and provide nutrients for growth. Thereby the flow of elements in the biomass cycle can be closed. Furthermore the use of energy can be improved by effective control systems and technology. The competence fields include:
• Bio-energy
• Wind and hydro power
• Solar energy
• Energy management
• Seminars and technical visits
