	Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering: Humanity faces enormous challenges in the areas of energy, environment, raw materials, water resources and security. By research and education in the areas of mining, civil and environmental engineering, we take responsibility for the development of a sustainable society. We are about 400 people of about 50 nationalities, of which 200 are doctoral students and just over 50 professors. You will find us in the T-pavilion and the C-house on the university campus in Luleå. You will find our Lab activities in the F-house and the C-house. Our research and education are characterized by a strong experimental and applied profile with several large and well-equipped laboratories. All activities are quality assured by our dedicated professors and lecturers in an exclusive and successful collaboration with industry and the public sector. 65% of our research is externally funded and we have well-developed international collaborations with universities in all continents.

	Montinutra produces high value bioactive products from forest industry side streams. Our mission is to convert forest industry side streams into valuable ingredients for the cosmetics, food & beverage and chemical industries with our scalable technology. Montinutra has strong research and innovation background and a solid patent portfolio in key markets globally.

	TerraNova Energy is a pioneer in Hydrothermal Carbonization of sludge and biowaste. In 2010, TerraNova Energy constructed the first HTC demonstration plant in Europe, and subsequently, constructed the first commercial HTC plant worldwide in 2016. The advantage of the TerraNova ultra process is that it takes place in an aqueous environment, so that no drying of the input material is necessary. Furthermore, the TerraNova ultra units have a highly efficient recovery system, which minimizes the heat demand of the HTC process. The HTC coal contains hardly any water and, thanks to its high energy content, can be used for climate-friendly energy generation in coal-fired power plants or as a substitute for fossil fuels in cement plants or waste incineration plants.
