Projects in formulated products

Every year, Europe's pulp and paper industry generates millions of tonnes of black liquor, an energy-rich but underutilised by-product rich in lignin. The SPLENDOR project is turning black liquor into gold with a hydrothermal process.

The FUSE project aims to generate new knowledge and develop cutting-edge green technologies for the sustainable production of furan-based platform chemicals.

The aim of the project is to reduce costs and increase the profitability of offshore energy installations through the development of dynamic cables. The development is done by simulating how the cable moves using fiber optics and modeling as well as surface treatment to minimize fouling, all to inc…

The development of high tech and high value applications for bioplastics may be one key to accelerate growth of the bioplastics sector. This project was a prestudy towards one such application: biobased piezoelectric fibres (piezofibres) for use in technical textiles.

CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage) has been identified as one of several key measures to be able to achieve both Sweden's and the global climate goals. The CO2Crete project will evaluate and validate different methods for carbonation and thus contributing to even more CO2 being permanent…

RISE, KI, NorthXBiologics and Vecura formed this consortium with the aim to building a national infrastructure around gene therapies through exploring the possibilities of dry vaccines.

RISE participate in international research project to develop and evaluate new inhalation formulations for antibiotic to treat lower respiratory tract infections. 

Off flavour management of pea protein concentrates. Applications of pea protein concentrates in food products. Improving pea protein concentrates.

In recent years, it has been possible to measure a rapid increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. This increase will continue due to the global demand for energy and materials from fossil sources. Sweden aims to become a carbon-neutral society by 2030 and to have negative net em…

Most people have used a hot glue gun for hobby or craft projects, and also wished it would be possible to use also for food decorations. A new, hot-melt adhesive now makes it possible to use for food decorations as well as for packaging.

D-Factory sought to demonstrate the requirements for establishing a sustainable, CO2 algae biorefinery, based on the cultivation and processing of the alga Dunaliella salina. By fractionating the algal biomass into carotenoid isomers, glycerol, and carbohydrate-rich defatted powder, the project aim…

Wood contains as much hemicellulose as cellulose fibers, and can be used to make foam materials for packaging and absorbent applications in hygiene products. The hemicellulose is extracted from side-streams in the paper mill and chemically modified to suit the final application.
