Environmental Technology and Management (MILJÖ)

Division of Environmental Technology is a research and education environment. Our focus is on how environmental problems lead to changes in products, services , technical systems and organisations and how it affects the environment.

The Division for Environmental Technology and Management is an interdisciplinary research group with thirty years experience of turning environmental problems into opportunities. Our main focus is the transformation of organisations, technical systems and products and services towards a resource efficient society. Today the division is a research and education environment with international reputation and with 25 employees and 900 students.

The division Environmental Technology and Management is divided into four units:

Unit for Sustainable Development and Strategies
Unit for Industrial and Urban Symbiosis
Unit for Products Services Innovation
Unit for Sustainable Materials Management

Biogas solutions fuel innovation

Policymakers may find it difficult to understand and be able to weigh in all sustainability effects of biogas systems. A new report highlights 53 different effects, most of which have a positive impact on society.

Great potential for increased resource efficiency through industrial symbiosis

The need for more knowledge and experience in implementing industrial symbiosis in Europe led to the EU project Coralis – which has now been completed. Researchers from Linköping University led two of the project’s main areas.

LiU researchers study the export potential of Swedish biogas

Now is the time to invest in the export of Swedish biogas. But perhaps it is primarily knowledge transfer and an understanding of the entire waste management system that Sweden should be exporting.
