The whole of Sweden could fly green thanks to Swedish forests
Researchers at Luleå University of Technology, working in collaboration with, among others, associates from IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, have conducted a preliminary study which shows that fossil-based aviation fuels used for Swedish domestic flights can be replaced by biofuels produced from forest residues. The researchers now want to demonstrate the production technology behind the biofuels as soon as possible to clear the way for their use on commercial domestic flights in Sweden.
– We have found a solution where the fuel used for Swedish domestic flights today can be replaced by biofuel produced from Swedish forestry raw materials in the near future. We know that there are production technologies that work and we know that the Swedish forest industry can potentially supply forest residues in large quantities. The potential is theoretically more than large enough to sustainably produce enough biofuel for both domestic and international flights in Sweden, says Fredrik Granberg, Project Manager at Energy Engineering, Luleå University of Technology.
Sweden can become self-sufficient in biofuel for domestic flight
