Research

Energy-smart sports facilities in East Middle Sweden

The project aims to reduce energy use and carbon dioxide emissions from sports facilities used for football, ice hockey and bandy in Östergötland, Örebro and Uppsala.

Sustainable football pitches

In this project, we focus on the environmental impact of both artificial and natural grass pitches, as well as their energy usage throughout their life cycle.

Biogas Solutions Research Center

BSRC is a national competence center for biogas research administered by the LiU. It's base for the development of innovative and resource-efficient biogas solutions often with positive local and regional effects on the environment and the economy.

Artificial turf in the Nordic climate – a question of sustainability

Artificial turf football pitches are better than natural turf from a sustainability perspective – with some reservations. This is demonstrated by researchers at LiU in a new study using life cycle analyses.

"There's a possibility of success"

The global temperature increase must be limited to a maximum of 2 °C within 80 years. Urgent action is required. The UN has convened a summit on climate issues. This is how the Climate Negotiation Game begins, played by a group of students.

Biogas is always good – but not always best

Biogas has many positive sides – but it’s not best at everything. A source of energy should be analysed from several perspectives and compared with the alternatives. It is also important to determine which factors are most important.
