Previous projects at Biofuel Region

By bringing together industry, the public sector, and research, we work to develop solutions in biogas, bioeconomy, and sustainable transport. Our projects create new opportunities for businesses, strengthen the local supply of raw materials, and contribute to a fossil-free future. See our previous projects here.

Botnia Nutrients Recycling

We have examined how digestate from biogas production can be used as a sustainable resource in agriculture. By studying nutrient recycling, microplastics, and pharmaceutical residues, the project has developed methods that strengthen the circular economy, improve the profitability of biogas plants, and reduce environmental impact in both Sweden and Finland.

Project period: 1 August 2019 – 30 June 2022

Added value

When we started in May 2021, we knew that logging residues contained valuable green chemicals. By October 2022, we had developed a model to locate and quantify the availability of spruce needles in northern Sweden and Finland, identified a method to separate the needles, and determined which high-value chemicals are found in the needles.

Project period: 1 May 2021 – 31 October 2022

BEST ACE

The aim of the BEST ACE project was to bridge changes in market development from compressed biogas (CBG) to liquefied biogas (LBG) within heavy transport, shipping, the gas grid, and power-to-X solutions. Meetings and study visits were carried out in Västerås, Denmark, Estonia, and Vaasa. A status report and guidance for the mentioned markets in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia were developed.

Project period: 1 October 2022 – 30 September 2024
