Four researchers from AU Engineering have received major grants from the Independent Research Fund Denmark for new technological research. In total, the Faculty of Technical Sciences at Aarhus University has received DKK 26 million shared between eight projects.

Radical innovation. Under this headline, 275 engineering students explained why their ideas have the potential to disrupt an entire industry. They made their pitches last week at the Applied Innovation in Engineering 2022 event in Stakladen at Aarhus University (AU).

A future society powered by sustainable energy sources will need storage technologies and sustainable fuels, as well as chemicals with high energy density for carbon-based industries and infrastructure. Here, Power-to-X technologies play a crucial role.

A large pan-European network of researchers, farmers, companies and knowledge centres has established a platform showcasing hundreds of existing technologies that can help de-fossilise agriculture.

With a grant from Independent Research Fund Denmark, a team of researchers and experts from industry and Aarhus University will try to solve the fundamental problem that the speed of light simply is not fast enough for the internet of the future.

Researchers from Aarhus University are heading a new, international project to develop a process that enables the production of biofuels based on plant and wood residues for air traffic and heavy transport. The technology can be up and running and producing drop-in biofuels by 2030.

The green transition is about much more than energy and fuel, and large parts of industry are still entirely dependent on fossil raw materials. Chemical and biotechnological advances are vital for a sustainable future. Zheng Guo is a new professor in enzyme technology; a technology that will play a major role in the green society of the future.
