Lecturer at the Department of Biosystems & Technology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
Research area
Methods and technology for biomass production on fields and marginal lands, where the biomass is used both for energy recovery and in biorefinery. Harvesting systems and pre-treatment methods for beet pulp, straw, hay, whole grains and industrial hemp for biogas production. Biomass production on marginal land with perennial plants for more sustainable biogas production. Jerusalem artichoke and industrial hemp as a substrate in biorefineries. Plant nutrient recycling from source-sorting sewage systems. Weed control methods in organic carrot.
– Beetroot, intermediate crops, straw, grass and whole grains as biogas substrates
– Multifunctional use of intermediate crops (nitrogen management, coal and biogas production)
– Rehabilitation of plant nutrients (biogas fertilizer, toilet water, three-chamber well sludge)
– Energy crops as biogas substrates (maize, sugar beet, whole grains, hay, etc.)
– Sustainable production of biomass for energy purposes
Teaching
Biomass for energy purposes, energy crops, biogas, cycles, field machines in agriculture and horticulture (mainly tillage establishment and irrigation)
