Pro2BE - Leading research environment for forest-based bioeconomy

Read more on vision, values and longterm goals for Pro2BE.

Open Testbeds for Businesses in the Region

Our open testbeds supports research and innovation in small and medium-sized business in the region.

Research for sustainable, environmentally friendly papermaking

Papermaking often requires additives to achieve desired properties, such as the strength of the paper. New research shows that this can be solved in an, as of yet, untested way.

Forest industry waste shown to have added value

Research shows that certain properties in pulp made from selected parts of spruce trees can have more added value than previously believed. Specific properties, such as the rigidity and elasticity of the paper product, vary depending on which parts of the spruce trees or other kinds of wood that are used when producing the pulp.

NewDeP - Research on Pellet

The research group NewDeP, New Development for Pellet Technology, consists of seven researchers and has been working on pellet research since 2001. The research encompasses how renewable material can become a high-quality pelleted product, in a sustainable and energy efficient way.

Heinzel-Mondi-Sappi Award

Research on virtual paper machine receives award

Björn Sjöstrand, senior lecturer in Chemical Engineering, has been awarded the Heinzel-Mondi-Sappi Award for his research on the virtual paper machine. His research makes it possible to optimise and test the manufacturing process in the industry, without expensive production stoppages.

Research contributing to increased recycling

Björn Sjöstrand, Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Karlstad University, was awarded the Young Researcher’s Award 2022 at Forum for Bioeconomy.

Research with an impact on the pharmaceuticals of the future

This research will help make pharmaceutical development quicker and more cost-efficient.

Research on cross-laminated timber

Karlstad University is working actively to develop its wood research and the research group, together with its partners, has in the last year received considerable funding from various funders to develop timber construction.

PROCESS MODELLING FOR MORE EFFICIENT PULP AND PAPER MANUFACTURING

Integrated paperboard manufacturing consists of a number of unit processes that continuously generate large amounts of process data. Manufacturing is energy-intensive and variations must be taken into account to achieve the optimal production process. A new thesis at Karlstad University shows how different mathematical models can be applied to the processes in aspects of improved product quality and reduced energy use.
