Our solutions for the diverse challenges and needs
Bio-based and Circular Economy
Bio-based and Circular Economy
Our research and development in the fields of bio-based and circular economy focus on creating value-added biochar products for various industries, promoting material efficiency and circular economy in construction, and improving the treatment and recyclability of used textiles. Digitalization is a natural fit for our projects.
Sustainable Energy Systems
Sustainable Energy Systems
Our new strategic research initiative, Sustainable Energy Systems, will effectively address the ongoing energy transition needs both regionally and nationally. Our applied research will focus on sector integration, with a particular emphasis on the crucial role of clean energy generation and storage solutions.
Fibre & Process Engineering and Wood Construction
Fibre & Process Engineering and Wood Construction
Xamk researches and develops new eco-efficient and energy efficient process concepts for forest biomass, and processing and modification of wood fibre. Xamk’s newest development work is done in cooperation with Aalto University and the focus is on research and piloting activities done with Aaltocell™ technology that aim at productizing microcrystalline cellulose.
Environmental Safety and Water Technology
Environmental Safety and Water Technology
Xamk’s environmental safety and water technology research group’s development objectives and focus areas include clean technological solutions in the bio-based, water and circular economy as well as intelligent monitoring methods and management of risks related to environmental safety and health, and monitoring of the state of the environment in communities and industry.
