Biomass, Coal & Environmental Research
The unit Biomass, Coal & Environmental Research (BKM) encompasses two fields of study:
- Biomass and Coal contribute to a cleaner, less wasteful and more sustainable use of these two energy resources.
- Environment assesses the impact of human activities on air and soil quality and provides policy support.
In addition to successful technological developments and their implementation in practice, such as BO2 fuel pellets, the MILENA gasifier, and OLGA tar removal system, the unit provides policy advice based on instruments like ORCHESTRA in relation to soil quality legislation, and MARGA, a fine particle monitor.
BKM Specialised and broad
BKM is a leading, reliable and innovative partner for industry, government and other research institutions. Research and development activities are diverse and broad, categorized into five research programmes. Our often highly specialised knowledge and experience is sought nationally and internationally, in part because of our unique experimental facilities, which are available for research and advice requests.
