Advanced biofuels demonstrations and R&D Projects in Sweden

• Luleå University of Technology's holding company took over Chemrec and its black liquor gasification plant in 2013. LTU is entering a long-term partnership with Chemrec and also the Danish company Haldor Topsö.
• Swedish Biofuels advanced processes for the conversion of alcohols into drop-in jet fuels.
• VärmlandsMethanol AB biomass-to-methanol plant in Hagfors, Sweden.
• The GoBiGas facility was inaugurated on 12 March 2014. According to a statement, the Board of Directors of Göteborg Energi decided to terminate the project in advance in a bid to reduce the financial impact of the plant in March 2018.
• SunPine AB has pioneered a "Wood to Wheel" renewable diesel process technology using crude tall oil, a residual product of the pulp and paper industry, as feedstock. The company is owned by Preem, Sveaskog, Södra and KIRAm AB, and operates a plant in Piteå.
• Cortus has built an integrated production flow plant where the drying, pyrolysis and gasification of different biofuels. Aims to construct a larger demonstration plant in Köping.
• Fortum bio-oil plant based on fast pyrolysis technology, connected to the Joensuu CHP plant.
• Fortum, UPM and Valmet will work together on a five-year project LignoCat (Lignocellulosic Fuels by Catalytic Pyrolysis) to develop and commercialize integrated catalytic pyrolysis technology to produce biofuels from cellulosic feedstocks. The project is funded by Tekes - the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation.
