Welcome!

The Institute for Industrial Energy Systems advances sustainable energy solutions and the circular economy through cutting-edge research in renewable energy, carbon capture, energy storage, and power plant technologies. We optimize solid fuel conversion for power production and employ AI-driven innovations for efficient applications in pulp mills, carbon capture, and other energy systems. Combining theory with practical research, we address global energy challenges to support sustainability.

Research

We develop solutions for renewable energy, including biomass, solar and wind power, to enable a reliable energy transition. Our carbon capture research uses novel methods such as oxyfuel combustion, chemical looping and amine scrubbing to reduce emissions and reuse carbon dioxide. Advanced energy storage systems such as Power-to-X and thermal energy storage improve flexibility and grid stability. We also innovate pulp and paper mills as well as power plant technologies to improve efficiency. We support the effective use of solid fuels such as waste materials for electricity and heat generation as well as the synthesis of chemicals and fuels. We also use artificial intelligence to create efficient, sustainable energy systems.
