The Km2 project is based on regional companies’ needs for materials engineering knowledge, analysis methods and pilot equipment in order to develop innovations in green electrical energy, its extraction, storage and use (7 sub-projects). The region already has a leading position in the field through research development in companies as well as at Mid Sweden University, and with the project the project owner wants to push forward the positions and increase research and development of new products. The project is based on a feasibility study where companies and organisations in the region have participated and analysed needs, challenges and opportunities. The Km2 project also includes the fen upgrade of the existing material laboratory and the development of a test environment that includes green street lighting for Nordic conditions. Objectives of the project: The overall goal of the project is to contribute to sustainable growth with climate-neutral energy supply based on new knowledge and innovation in the field of large functional spaces. The goal of the project is to: · increase research and development of new products based on advanced functional surfaces that increase the value added of the region’s forest raw materials· develop innovative solutions for extracting green energy (solar and wind energy)· demonstrating innovations for storing electrical energy in super capacitors and new materials in lithium-ion batteries· demonstrating off-grid road lighting in rural areas· demonstrating design rules for lighting and displays that are also adapted for people with functional impairments· establishing an open material and innovation laboratory for rural areas· demonstrating design rules for lighting and displays that are also adapted for people with functional impairments· establishing an open material and innovation laboratory, with large-scale industries and small businesses. Expected result: · Participating companies have strengthened their competitiveness through the use of new technology and developed products and services in green energy based on fibre raw materials· through the project, Mid Sweden University’s position as a leading centre in forest industry research has been strengthened as well as the region’s position in green energy· KM2 has resulted in increased collaboration between universities and the region’s companies in forest industry and materials engineering research and innovation.In the project, the project is open for all new innovations and one new company has been created for the region, and the project is a solution for the development of a new solution.The project is an energy that is available for the Nordic region, and a sustainable energy is a way to develop, and a solution for the project is a test solution for the application of a new solution.The project is an energy-based solution for the Nordic region, which is a sustainable energy for a sustainable energy, and a sustainable development of the project is an energy-based solution for the project, and the project is an energy-based solution for the Nordic region.The project is a project that is a sustainable development of energy. The approach in the project is based on experiences from previously completed research and innovation projects in combination with established working methods for efficient and results-oriented work. Collaboration with companies will take place within each subproject through joint work meetings to together develop prototypes, solutions to technical problems and opportunities, as well as methods and models for rational development.
