Urban environments are teeming with bioresources, such as various types of biomass and organic waste, that often go underutilized. This challenge invites you to delve into the complex problems associated with the suboptimal use of these bioresources and explore how anaerobic digestion can transform them into valuable biogas and biofertilizer.  

Despite the significant potential of anaerobic digestion, many urban bioresources are wasted or poorly managed, contributing to environmental degradation and energy inefficiency. Your challenge will be to examine the current landscape, identify barriers, and propose strategies to integrate biogas technology more effectively into urban settings. More specifically, you will identify an underutilized urban bioresource, define the reasons behind its lack of use, and propose concrete solutions.

Collaborate with industry experts from [St1 Biokraft,](https://st1biokraft.com/) engage in interdisciplinary research, and present your innovative solutions to stakeholders. This challenge-based learning experience promises to be both intellectually stimulating and practically impactful, driving sustainable development and helping cities transition to greener futures.  

The challenge includes a face-to-face (F2F) week at Linköping University in Sweden. During the F2F week, you will get the opportunity to engage with some of the most advanced biogas systems in the world, you will interact directly with the challenge provider, visit state-of-the art biogas research facilities, and get a tour of a full-scale biogas plant at Tekniska Verken AB in Linköping.  

Join us and be part of the solution!

This challenge is given within the context of the course Advancing Sustainable Futures: Integrating Biogas Production into Society for a Greener Transition. For more infromation about the course and the syllabus, please see [here](https://studieinfo.liu.se/en/kurs/746G75#overview).
