CARBIOW project has completed an exciting experience in which synergies between university researchers and private sector professionals have organically emerged: Edesio Miranda-Barbosa, as former Chief Technology Officer of our partner Svåheia Eiendom AS, co-supervised four Master Thesis this year that had Svåheia and CARBIOW as case study.
“Most of these students came to me after my lecture at the Business School of the University of Stavanger”, explains Edesio.
These students contributed with a relevant literature review of several aspects of the CARBIOW project, mainly on the gasification process, LCA and CCS possibilities in Svåheia, social acceptance and risks analysis, and potential for biofuel development in Svåheia.
“They did a pioneer work, putting Svåheia in the very high level of research and innovation interest and gave even more visibility to the project”, he states.
Three of these postgraduate works received the highest scores from the University of Stavanger (UiS) and the University of South-Eastern Norway and therefore have been published:
- Mahdieh Mahmoudzadeh did a brilliant job on “Sustainability assessment of biomass utilization and energy recovery – A study in Svåheia, Norway”. https://lnkd.in/dNxqJXTz
- Susanne Håland focused on “Comprehensive Risk Analysis and Mitigation Strategies Across Multifaced operations at Svåheia Eiendom AS (SEAS)” with some information on social acceptance. https://bioplat.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Master1.pdf
- Fredrik Emil Nilsen did also very well with his work “Carbon profile and energy consumption of biofuel production using an organic fraction of municipal solid waste: An industry study with Svaaheia Eiendom AS”. https://bioplat.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Master-2.pdf
