Today, with its boundless utility, we use biomass as a raw material in the manufacture of everything from paints and toothpaste to electricity and fuel for fossile free aviation. RISE Processum develops concepts for the refineries of the future, with the motto, ‘anything that can be done by oil can be done better by the forest’.
Story
Forestry byproducts the aviation fuel of the future
Air traffic is responsible for releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide. In collaboration with the aerospace industry, researchers are currently developing fossil-free fuels from Swedish forests.
Story
New tech and business models for fossil-free aviation
Aviation accounts for around five per cent of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. The Swedish aviation strategy states that aviation shall contribute to the goal of Sweden becoming one of the world’s first fossil-free welfare states. To achieve this requires both technical and business innovation, and RISE is currently pursuing several research projects that in various ways contribute to the changeover to fossil-free aviation.
Smart machines that assist healthcare staff, increase industrial efficiency and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Or prophets of doom that threaten our humanity. Artificial intelligence interests us, fascinates us, and terrifies us. What do leading researchers have to say about the development of AI?
Story
RISE at the forefront of Sweden’s drive to be a leader in AI
Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly and RISE is at the forefront. Not only in terms of basic research and technology – but also in their application and ethical issues.
Swede’s are generally positive to artificial intelligence (AI); however, as soon as these systems impinge on our daily lives, our scepticism increases. RISE is now investing in increasing knowledge and understanding of the consequences of using technology in general and AI in particular.
Story
Smarter job applications with artificial intelligence
One of the major challenges facing the job market is matching job seekers to employers. In an attempt to improve their matching, the Swedish Public Employment Service – with the help of RISE – has developed the AI powered service Spontanansökan.
