Industrial Symbiosis and a Trip to USA

It has been set up now...I'm coming home for a few weeks after a conference in San Francisco. It will be great to spend some time at home, but I will also do some work. What will I do...yes...Industrial Symbiosis research. I will look at an ethanol plant in Michigan and how the introduction of biogas (integrated production) could lead to reduced fossil fuel consumption and environmental performance benefits. This is what my research is all about! Reducing fossil fuel consumption and improving environmental performance! I work together with Swedish Biogas International to get some data to do scenario building to see if it is "actually" better.

Unfortunately the academic community has some different opinions about my research, and I will not be presenting anything at this year's conference...not the least bit bitter....;) I will have 2 posters however and get a free trip back home (well not till I get back to a better place, YES MICHIGAN)
