This month Bio4Energy researchers will meet at Lövånger, between the northern Swedish towns of Umeå and Skellefteå, to flesh the out the research programme’s vision with further concrete goals and projects for the next five years. A further aim of the 2-3 May meeting is to develop cross-cutting projects between B4E’s seven platforms, each of which is responsible for conducting research to advance scientific research on a certain segment in the biorefinery value chain.

The projects will be at the root of developing collaborations with forestry industry to design efficient process for developing fuels and products from biomass, such as wood and woody refuse.

Details
Bio4Energy will collaborate with Swedish universities, research institues and companies to develop renewable fuels for transportation. By increased collaboration between researchers, companies and government authorities, the goal is that research results will be used to an greater extent. The centre will provide scientifically based information for politicians, government authorities, industry and other organisations, and in that way contribute to future essential R&D investments within the field.

Details
Sven-Olof Lundqvist of the Bio4Energy research partner Innventia will arrange a course in co-operation with FPIRC (Forest Products Industry Research College) and KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in Stockholm 5-7 April 2011. The course is open to PhD students from Sweden and abroad.

Bio4Energys second network meeting took place in Örnsköldsvik 5 October. During the day, the research of the platform Feedstock was presented by Prof. Björn Sundberg, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Prof. Per Gardeström, Umeå University. The Process integration platform by Prof. Jan Dahl, Luleå University of Technology and the Environmental platform was presented by Prof. Stellan Marklund, Umeå University.

On Tuesday 21 September, a delegation from Star-COLIBRI visited Umeå and met with representatives from Bio4Energy to discuss possibilities for collaboration. The Star-COLIBRI project is a Coordination and Support Action funded by FP7. Star-COLIBRI has identified Bio4Energy as one of the top ten high quality star projects. The aim is now to find other projects to collaborate with, something that is called StarClustering.
