Biofuels for Sweden 2030 – reporting completed

The vision of this programme was for biofuels to become an important alternative fuel in the transport sector. This programme aimed to make it easier for biofuels to be more widely available at a reasonable cost across Sweden. Research and development in the area is an important step towards fossil-free transport and domestic flights by 2030.

The research focused on energy efficiency in the choice of biofuel mix, topics of land use, and how to ensure that the raw materials used as input consist of only residual products from society, agriculture and forestry. All crucial elements for the development of sustainable biofuels.

Programme Coordinator Heat & Power, Hydropower & Energy Systems

Bertil Wahlund

My work spans from hydropower and hydrogen to combined heat and power. I’m a civil engineer and hold a PhD in chemical engineering, specialising in energy processes and energy systems. Previously, I worked in global development at Sida, supporting developing countries in building sustainable research environments and systems. Besides work? I never say no to a double espresso. I grow chili, look for mushrooms in the forest and I’m passionate about running.

Facts

The programme had a total budget of SEK 6 million and ran from March 2017 to December 2020.
