Projects in Fossil-free fuels

Low-value residues from Swedish sawmills and the wood industry have the potential to meet most of the demand for bio-based fuel for domestic air traffic. The project will develop technology for the production of biofuel via a sugar platform process using oil-rich yeast fungi and chemical-catalytic …

The project is developing a biogas platform for agriculture to optimize residual streams and arable land, promoting fossil-free food production and climate-neutral farming. It supports Sweden’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2045 and strengthens self-sufficiency, benefiting both customers and societ…

The pulp and paper industry in Europe produces 17 million tonnes of lignin every year. However, only two per cent is used for purposes other than energy production. The EU project LIGNOFUN aims to address this issue by developing bio-based products from lignin, thereby promoting a more sustainable …

BIOMETHAVERSE aims to diversify possible production methods for biomethane in Europe, increase cost-effectiveness, and contribute to the dissemination and use of new biogas technology. RISE designs, builds, and operates a mobile testbed for biological methanation of syngas to biomethane within the …

The FOR-BLEND project, funded by Interreg Aurora, aims to enhance the green transition towards a sustainable economy by creating cross-border knowledge networks. The project focuses on developing a feasible process for managing forest-based residues locally to produce a sustainable fuel blending co…

Pyrolysis as an innovative and sustainable solution for sludge management? Logistics, economics, regulations and benefits for agriculture have been investigated in this feasibility study based on conditions in the Halland region.

LowCoBio aims to accelerate the commercialisation of renewable fuels from bio-oil by addressing two key challenges: improving production processes and solving corrosion problems.

The ABATE project aims to demonstrate the integration of thermochemical and biochemical processes to convert biomass residues into advanced bio-based refinery intermediates for sustainable transportation fuels.

The project aims for the development of catalytic systems and processes for the transformation of lignin and lignin derivatives to sustainable aviation fuels.

In the Bio-MeGaFuel project, we proposes a novel route that converts low-value biomass to methanol via an intensified process with a minimum carbon footprint comparable to conventional methods. The process bases on chemical looping gasification to produce biomass-derived syngas which is further con…

CESTAP (Competence cEntre in Sustainable Turbine fuels for Aviation and Power) is a centre of competence with academic and industrial partners promoting production and use of sustainable fuels for stationary gas turbines and aviation jet engines.

Biofuel markets in the EU are undergoing rapid changes. Changes in the policy landscape due to increased climate ambitions is expected to increase biofuel demand. If the increased demand is to be covered by production in the EU, biofuel production capacity need to expand, which will lead to increas…

Policy instruments for attaining the Swedish 2045 national netzero GHG emissions target

SynoProtein aims to develop and demonstrate a carbon-negative process that converts residues from sawmills into single-cell proteins for fish feed, as well as producing biochar for animal feed. Furthermore, for every dry tonne of sawmill by-product that it processes, the system can capture the equi…

The ALFAFUELS project aims to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in the aviation sector. With a new innovative production technology, the aim is to improve the scale-up potential through microbial production for the conversion of CO₂ into fuel precursors that are scaled up and refined into jet f…

In the project, the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) has been mapped to identify which types of value chains leave room for interpretation of the regulations and what consequences this may entail. The ability of RED to promote resource efficiency has also been evaluated.
