Bio+ expands its portfolio with 21 new projects

As a result of the latest calls for proposals, the Swedish Energy Agency has granted funding to a total of 21 new Bio+ projects.

This means that the Bio+ program now encompasses over 80 projects that contribute to the development of biobased solutions and value chains.
