ACCC R&I ECOSYSTEM: FINNISH CENTERS OF EXELLENCE
| Project Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Centre of Excellence in Tree Biology | “Centre of Excellence in Tree Biology”studies thecarbon sequestration in trees. The potential improvement of sequestration to mitigate climate change requires knowledge from and interaction between many scientific disciplines and sectors of society. Understanding of the carbon sink effect in trees at a molecular level is still relatively superficial compared to many other aspects of this complex problem. https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/centre-of-excellence-in-tree-biology |
| Virtual laboratory for molecular level atmospheric transformations | Centre of Excellence is “Virtual laboratory for molecular level atmospheric transformations” (VILMA) aims to generate a virtual laboratory composed of multitude of digital twins of real-life instruments commonly used to study the state of the atmospheric environment. This virtual laboratory approach tackles the huge combinatorial problem related to atmospheric particulate matter formation and evolution to resolve the processes controlling ambient new particle formation and growth under various experimental conditions relevant to Earth’s atmosphere. https://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/VILMA/ |
| Centre of Excellence of Inverse Modelling and Imaging | Centre of Excellence of Inverse Modelling and Imaging” (INVERSE FINLAND) is specialized in the theory, implementation and application of inversion methods. The objective of the INVERSE FINLAND is to create fundamentally new, efficient, and theoretically sound solutions to practical inverse problems. https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/centre-of-excellence-of-inverse-modelling-and-imaging |

| CarbonLink Oy is a company founded by climate scientists from University of Helsinki. Our goal is to help organizations towards a more sustainable future. CarbonLink offers a dynamic tool for organizations to measure their carbon footprint and identify their impacts on the climate. https://www.carbonlink.fi/ |
| Climate Analytics Finland Ltd (CAF) is a climate neutrality advisory and carbon removal verification company focusing on developing impartial carbon removal verification service for various customers. Current voluntary carbon credit systems do not offer credible option for global carbon removal market. It is necessary to impartially verify claimed carbon offsets or credits. Regulation related to this field is developing especially in Finland and in the European Union, but also elsewhere. CAF will combine relevant customer data analysis and the latest available research findings and measurements to scientifically credible modelling tools in developing independent and impartial CAF carbon removal verification as internationally scalable commercial service. For contact : sami.paatero@Helsinki.fi |
| Filtson Oy, Kuopio, develops a methane removal system which reduces methane gases immediately, without intermediate processes. Itcan be used to slow down the greenhouse effect and reduce the release of methane into the atmosphere. https://filtson.fi/ |
