Developing fossil free fuels for a sustainable future

By 2030, Sweden is aiming to become one of the world’s first fossil-free welfare state. This necessarily accelerates the development of alternative fuels. The emphasis is on sustainable biofuels and green chemicals from fields, forests and waste – for use in road, maritime and air transport. The transport sector is currently responsible for one fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions.

What we do in Fossil free fuels

Story

Fuel cell vehicles replace exhaust gases with water

Bränslecellsbilen har hamnat i skuggan av elbilen, som i dag är det medialt hetaste alternativet till bensin- och dieselbilar. Men en bränslecellsbil har flera fördelar, förutom att den bara släpper ut vattenånga kan den köras längre jämfört med batterielbilen.

Forestry byproducts the aviation fuel of the future

Air traffic is responsible for releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide. In collaboration with the aerospace industry, researchers are currently developing fossil-free fuels from Swedish forests.

Finding a sustainable future for electric roads

In some form or another, the roads of tomorrow will be electrified. The necessary technology already exists; the challenge is to find ways to make it work in a holistic business ecosystem.
“We can see that electric roads offer longterm, socioeconomic profits,” confirms Håkan Sundelin, an electromobility researcher at RISE.

We need to change our behaviour to save the climate

If we are to achieve the Swedish Government’s environmental and climate goals we must reduce our consumption of natural resources and develop fossil-free fuels. These two measures must go hand in hand and one of the most important challenges facing us today is to change our behaviour.

Story

Old tyres get the car rolling

Researchers at RISE are investigating the possibility of manufacturing fuel from old tyres. So far, results are looking promising and, thanks to this process, it may be possible to reduce both waste and the use of fossil resources.
