Swedish breakthrough in the development of biofuels

Sweden can be one step closer to a fossil-free fleet. This since the BioLi2.0 research project on a pilot scale managed to produce lignin-based biofuels that could work in common engines and be produced in existing oil refineries. Already today forest raw materials are used for the production of biofuels. In line with the transition to a fossil-free society, the need for bio-based raw materials increases, which has led to research on the utilisation of lignin. The wood raw material lignin is found in abundant quantities. Around 20-30 percent of the tree consists of lignin which
