Welcome!
The Industrial Energy Systems Lab advances sustainable energy solutions and the circular economy through cutting-edge research in renewable energy, carbon capture, energy storage, and power plant technologies. We optimize solid fuel conversion for energy production and employ AI-driven innovations for efficient applications in pulp mills, CO2 capture, and mining. Combining theory with practical applications, we address global energy challenges to support sustainability and industrial efficiency.
Research
We develop renewable energy solutions, including biomass, solar, and wind, to enable a reliable energy transition. Our research on carbon capture employs cutting-edge methods like oxyfuel combustion, chemical looping, and amine scrubbing to reduce CO2 emissions and reuse them. Advanced energy storage systems, such as power-to-X and thermal energy storage, enhance system efficiency and grid stability. Additionally, we innovate power plant technologies to improve flexibility and efficiency, while optimizing solid fuels like biomass, and waste-derived materials for power and heat generation. We also harness artificial intelligence to create efficient, sustainable energy applications in pulp mills, CO2 capture, and mining operations.
