Efficient biofuel production and logistics at terminals and industry

The project’s overall objective is to produce quality-assured knowledge that can be applied directly in practice and enables increased efficiency in the supply chain for, and resource utilization of, wood fuels, thereby increasing the potential to substitute imported fossil fuels with domestically, sustainably produced biofuels.
The project is performed in close collaboration between SLU, Skogforsk, biofuel producers, and stakeholders for the combined heat and power industry.
The project spans over the entire supply chain from transport of biomass for biofuel production to produced wood fuel for cogeneration of bioenergy.
The work is executed in four work packages and underlying sub-studies to achieve the overall objectives. The sub-studies will be performed from 2023 to 2025 and shed light on geographical differences and seasonal variations.
