This project aims to investigate if the addition of pulp and paper mill primary sludge to the AD process can improve the dewaterability of the sludge, and thereby increase its use and value on the market.

Sustainable System Analysis incorporates the subjects Energy Systems, and Environmental Technology and Management. We analyse questions from an energy and/or environmental point of view by applying a system perspective on sustainable development.

In premises that used to be home to historic Kalmar verkstad upgrade facilities for biogas are now being constructed. They are built in modules designed to fit into shipping containers, which can be rapidly deployed in Sweden and throughout Europe.

Brazil has a significant capacity for biogas production from organic waste that has not yet been realised. Hanna Zanatta has studied several societal aspects that affect the introduction of biogas systems.
