During December 7-8, 2023, the Associate Professor of the Department, Dr. of Engineering Sciences, Associate Professor Iryna Ablieieva took part in Biogas Solutions Research Center (BSRC) Winter Conference (Linköping, Sweden). Biogas Solutions Research Center is a national competence center that aims to create strong, national competencies leading to industrially and socially motivated research on and development of biogas solutions. The center is administered by Linköping University, where Iryna Ablieieva is providing scientific research now as a guest researcher.

BSRC organized four research weeks and two conferences (summer and winter) annually to share knowledge and experience between industry, academia and interested parties. This year winter conference had four sessions: “Biomethane and hydrogen – competition and synergies”, “How can regions include the role of biogas solutions in their sustainability-related strategies and goals?”, “How much biomass and biogas can we produce? And what would that mean?”, and “Business and policy development for future markets and use of biomethane in Europe”. Obtained experience from European countries must be implemented in Ukraine as well towards the development of biogas sector.

Besides this poster session was held during the first day of the conference where Iryna Ablieieva had a poster presentation on the topic “The substrate effect on the organic matter characteristics of digestate from large scale biogas reactors”. This research is performed together with Swedish colleagues from Linköping University.

Iryna Ablieieva provides research in the direction of anaerobic digestate quality, digestate valorization and application as biofertilizer, effect of the Carbon accumulation in the soil, etc. These topics are important for postwar reconstruction of Ukraine, especially for soil remediation.
