Secure information flows with a digital platform for trading in biofuels

To have established a digital platform for trading in solid biofuels that is used by a significant proportion of market participants. That is the goal of this project funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, where CDT is one of several parties.

In order for Sweden to be able to restructure the energy system and reach the target of zero net emissions by 2045, a significantly increased use of biofuels is necessary. Digitization of the biofuel market can contribute to an increased rate of change, but for digital commerce to be successful, safety aspects must be carefully investigated. This issue will be investigated by the new project. It will also look at whether blockchains can be used to meet users' demands for safety, traceability and integrity in digitalised trade in biofuels in Sweden.

PROJECT PERIOD:
