LiU researchers receive bioenergy scholarship
Mikael Ottosson, Department of Thematic Studies - Technology and Social Change, has received Jan Häckners bioenergy scholarship for his research on the forest industry and bioenergy. In his thesis 2011, Mikael Ottosson describes how the forest industry went from scepticism to full acceptance of renewable energy and biofuels. He received the scholarship because he "in a commendable manner disseminated his research outside the academy and to a broader audience in the energy field." Jan Häckner was the Swedish Bioenergy Association (Svebio) executive director during the period 1987-1995.
