Research focus on feedstocks:
Residues and wastes already harvested
Agricultural residues
Forestry residues
Municipal wastes
Sewage sludge
Energy crops
Algae and microalgae
Biomass should be used efficiently !

Thermochemical conversion processes:
A very exciting chemical research field !
At the Departmnt of Chemistry, UiB:
Converting lignin to biofuel components and chemicals
Developing new, unique catalysts for producing aromatic
hydrocarbons from ligninbased biooils

Improving product quality and reducing production
costs
Lots of work needed preferably in academic-industrial
cooperation.
Financing is a BIG problem we get lost in "the valley of
death"
