Welcome to ENERGY-SUSTAINABILITY Nexus Laboratory (ESNL)!!!!

Brief Introduction

ESNL is headed by Dr. Gopalakrishnan Kumar, Associate professor of the University of Stanger (UiS), Stavanger, Norway.  The current team consists of Ph.D. candidates, Master students, as well as collaborating with international experts across the globe. 

Our current research is focusing on two directions:

Algal biorefinery

Circular bioeconomy has become a sustainable business model for commercial production that promises to reuse, recycle & recover while considering less environmental footprints in nutraceutical industries. Microalgae biotechnology has the synergy to bioremediate waste stream while generating high-value-added compounds such as astaxanthin, protein, and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are potential compounds used in various industries, thus, the integration of this approach provides economic advantages.

Our primary focus on microalgal biotechnology:

Solid Waste Management

In Norway, the relative abundance and ease of collection of this waste substrate make it a candidate for investigation.
