Start-up is planned for spring 2019, with a capacity of about 4,000 litres per day. The raw material will consist of residual products from the forest industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a milestone decision. The forest offers enormous potential when it comes to finding new and sustainable solutions for products that were previously confined to fossil raw material. S\u00f6dra has expert knowledge in forests and industrial processes to extract high-quality products from forest raw material, while Statkraft is specialised in energy. This is a strong combination,\u201d said Catrin Gustavsson, Head of Innovation and New Business at S\u00f6dra.<\/p>\n<p>The demo facility is a first step towards a full-scale facility. It will be used to develop both the process and the technology for producing the new biofuel. In the next stage, the plan is to establish a full-scale facility, with biofuel production for various types of transport, including road and air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a commercial facility in place in the future, we can enable large volumes of biofuel. At the same time, any future decisions regarding the EU\u2019s Renewable Energy Directive \u2013 on how energy from renewable sources should be promoted \u2013 must support these types of investment in biofuel production. S\u00f6dra is following several paths for the development of biofuel, in particular, and this represents another step forward towards a fossil-free future,\u201d said Christen Gr\u00f8nvold-Hansen, Project Director for the demo facility at S\u00f6dra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S\u00f6dra and Statkraft have made a decision to invest in a new demo facility for fossil-free fuel.
