Public examination: Alexander Sokolov 2.7.

LUT and VTT verified the possibility to produce single-cell protein with electricity and carbon dioxide in 2017 in their joint research project Neo-Carbon Energy. LUT and VTT have continued this research in the project Neo-Carbon Food, which launched protein production with a new process.

"We are taking the carbon dioxide required for the bioprocess directly from the air. As far as I know, we're the first in the world to do so", says professor Jero Ahola.

The highly endangered Saimaa ringed seal is characteristic to the Finnish lakelands and something Finns feel strongly about. The seal population must be preserved not only because of this, but also for reasons pertaining to natural history.

LUT's Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Research Group (CVPR) has been tackling this issue since 2015. Now it is exporting its expertise to Russia.

Nuclear safety

Commissioning testing of Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant revealed that one pipeline in the reactor system vibrated above desired values.

LUT University researchers, lead by professor Juhani Hyvärinen discovered a way to prevent vibration damping materials from interfering with reactor safety systems.

Plastic waste

According to Professor of Packaging Technology Ville Leminen the current packaging trend is to use a thin polymer layer as a barrier (against e.g. oxygen) in a fibre-based product. In the future, the barrier could be something other than plastic.
