Our Challenge

Are you ready to tackle one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time? Join us in this challenge that integrates biogas production into society for a greener transition. This year, we focus on the underutilized urban bioresources that could be optimized through anaerobic digestion, a biotechnology that transforms organic wastes to renewable biofuels and sustainable biofertilizer. The challenge is offered in collaboration with Jörgen Ejlertsson, Process and R&D excellence lead at St1 Biokraft, one of Northern Europe’s largest producers of bio-LNG, a sustainable and locally produced alternative to fossil fuels. The challenge is open to students from all backgrounds, blending engineering, natural sciences, and social studies to develop cutting-edge solutions.
