Research Projects

Synergies for Improved Environmental Performance of 1st Generation Biofuels for Transportation
The research entails discovering flows of goods, materials and energy in biofuel production processes, as well as external industries, and findings means to use by-products, products and other flows with synergies and industrial symbiosis.

The overall aim of this project is to contribute to the development for improving the performance of production systems for biofuels for transportation from food crops and waste.

Biofuel Development in Tanzania
Michael has also been involved in a project concerning biodiesel development for the country of Tanzania. The study was a feasibility study of the infrastructure, processes, collaboration, shareholders and technology needed to implement biodiesel production for this African nation.
