Twenty seven methods currently used to characterize biochar were assessed in terms of their usefulness to determine the stability of biochar carbon in the environment. The International Biochar Initiative (IBI), which led the effort, gathered fourteen world-class experts in different fields of biochar relevant to stability, who guided the process f...

We present a model where master students act as change agents, inducing sustainability transitions in socio-technical systems by applying backcasting. Creating transitions in a complex socio-technical system, where universities need to collaborate with the public-and private sector (the triple helix) is often hindered by various kinds of lock-ins....

This poster describes the initial phase in a university venture creation process where pre-conditions for a sustainable technology venture are set, using a course where teams are applying a trans-disciplinary sustainability-focused idea evaluation framework on early-stage technology innovation ideas. 8% of the technology innovation ideas going thro...

In the process of creating sustainable heat and power production systems it is important to find alternative, renewable fuels that are carbon dioxide neutral. Preferably these fuels should be domestic, thus diminishing the need for transportation. One option could be to use existing residues from local agriculture and food production. Development o...

A presentation of a transformative and integrative system for sequestering carbon while aligning with 11 out of 17 UN agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

This book is about developing sustainable businesses. The focus is on early stages – when a business is little more than an idea – and on innovation in an open environment, relatively unconstrained by organizational or other demands. Our setting is primarily the university, and especially the side of the university that nurtures new ideas to grow –...

This user-friendly book introduces biochar to potential users in the professional sphere. It de-mystifies the scientific, engineering and managerial issues surrounding biochar for the benefit of audiences including policy makers, landowners and farmers, land use, agricultural and environmental managers and consultants, industry and lobby groups and...

As we combine evolutionary processes with AI we can orchestrate the goals of human development with the very core of nature’s life processes. By harmonizing business with nature’s and evolution’s processes, we will get a sustainable business development aligned with our desired goals. The future venture has to transcend business and biology, thereb...

The virtual screening is a way to select and sort ligands that do not fit into the site, make unfavorable interactions or do not have high affinity for the site. The one that has a good scoring gives an indication on which type of ligand to enhance and develop further. The virtual screening is a way to encompass a structure to have as a starting ma...
