Department of Applied Ecology and Bioenergy

The department is engaged in applied research in the field of renewable energy sources, particularly in the cultivation of energy crops and herbs, the utilization of waste biomass, and the production of biofuels.

Department profile

The competence and professional activities of the Department of Applied Ecology and Bioenergy include know-how in the field of technology of cultivation of energy crops and herbs developed on the basis of ecophysiological characteristics and the ability to carry out production potential in specific soil and environmental growing conditions.

Key professional activities include:

  • integrating the results from different researches,
  • the design of models for the woodworking and energy industry, based on quantitative experimental data,
  • a wide range of applied research in the field of biofuels,
  • research and energy use of biomass waste from agriculture and food production, as well as municipalities.
