June 14th, 2009 admin There is a rising global interest in renewable liquid biofuels for transports. In Sweden several small plants for the production of liquid biofuels have been built. The production of biogas and ethanol, which are the most common types of liquid biofuels in Sweden, amounts to the equivalent of 1.8 TWh annually.
Bioenergy for combined heat and power
June 13th, 2009 admin Up to now an expansion of the use of biofuels to produce electricity in Sweden has been hindered by the fact that fossil fuels are not taxed for carbon dioxide in the production of electricity. As of 1 May 2003 the new law on electricity certificates came into force, with the purpose of stimulating electricity [...]
Bioenergy of Sweden
June 12th, 2009 admin Bioenergy is definitely on the upswing. Every year biofuels in Sweden produce 3-4 TWh more energy than the previous year. The share of biofuels supplied to the Swedish energy system is now larger than the share supplied of electricity from hydropower or nuclear power, or the share of oil for heating. Heating is the main [...]
