Per has worked at RISE/SP since 1990. He has a PhD in fire technology (2005) and a MSc in analytical chemistry. His background in research is on emissions from fires and their impact on human an the environment. Other research topics involve reaction-to-fire of materials and products and self-heating in storages of solid fuels.

BIOSAFIRE

BIOSAFIRE - Development and manufacture of new, more sustainable and safer materials using biobased functionalised additives based on lingin and tannins to improve fire resistance

NoMR! - Improved Wildfire Preparedness through Cross-Sectoral Dialogue

The project aims to form a holistic description of vulnerability that is quantifiable and transferable from spatial and temporal variables. Using this as a basis, the distribution of responsibility and roles of actors can be descr…

Fire Safe Implementation of Mass Timber In Tall Buildings

Research of the fire performance of CLT and Glued Laminated Timber buildings, with visible wood surfaces.

Sustainability aspects of fire

Accidental fire impacts society in obvious ways, such as destroying or contaminating parts of the built and natural environments, and in more subtle ways, such as displacing people and disrupting the economy. There is much to lear…

Fire gas analysis

Fire gas is formed when different materials and products burn. When analysing fire gas, toxic components are identified and a risk assessment is made. Fire gas analysis is important to understand the content and potential risks of…

Composites and their reaction-to fire

The use of composites is increasing in line with increasing demands on lighter vessels and vehicles. At the same time, high demands are placed on the materials with regard to fire and safety. RISE has for several years actively pa…

Self-heating

Perhaps the most common cause of fires in large bulk storage is self-heating leading to spontaneous ignition. Self-heating is partly due to microbial activity, chemical oxidation and physical processes and can lead to spontaneous …

Fuel Storage Safety

Our research platform for safe storage of fuels has a combined expertise in fire, risk and safety. This mainly covers solid biomass and waste, but also liquid and gaseous fuels.
