Leader of ENTERS UiA research group on circular economy (www.enters.uia.no)
BATMAN project on used battery value chains (BATMAN project)
Agder Symbiose - in cooperation with Eyde, Arendal municipality og Agder county (Agder Symbiose kick-off)
ALGECO - Cost-effective algae technology to promote circular economy development of
Norwegian wastewater treatment plant in cooperation with NIVA, University of Oslo, NIBIO, SINTEF Energy Research, NMBU, University of Queensland, Vestfjorden Wastewater Company, and Biosikva AS. (https://www.alg.eco/)
2ND LIFE - The value of second life batteries in the future energy system, in cooperation with IFE, The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, NTNU, University College of London, and the Solar Energy Cluster with funding partners from Equinor, ecostor, Corvus Energy, Norsk Hydro, and Batteriretur.
ELAG - ELAG brings together important regional actors in the battery sector to try and develop new technologies and concepts that will aid in the electrification of society and contribute to increase circularity in the Norwegian battery value chain. The overall research aim is to determine how used electric vehicle batteries can be automatically discharged and characterised in order to be integrated into a circular battery value chain that also uses battery energy storage to meet the needs of a low-carbon and electrified society.
