KTH to lead new center for fossil-free chemical production

Published Dec 04, 2025

Anna Björklund (SEED) has secured funding as a co-applicant for a major research project, marking an important step in advancing innovative research within the field.

A new research center will develop technologies to transform carbon dioxide into valuable products – from plastics to pharmaceutical building blocks. Together with Stockholm University, KTH has been awarded SEK 60 million from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) to establish the center ACCELERATE. Here, researchers, industry partners, and international collaborators will join forces to make chemical production fossil-free.
