Our Challenge

Are you ready to tackle one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time? Join us in this challenge where we explore innovative ways to produce sustainable biofertilizers using biogas systems. Our focus is on reducing harmful substances called PFAs (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) to ensure safer soils and a greener future. The challenge is offered in collaboration with Tomas Kjellquist, co-founder of Biototal, a leading company in Northern Europe’s circular bioeconomy. The challenge is open to students from all backgrounds, blending engineering, natural sciences, and social studies to develop cutting-edge solutions.
