Biofuels

AFRY has participated in over 80% of all advanced biofuels projects in the Nordics.

Our deep knowledge and expertise in bio-based feedstock handling, combined with thorough chemical process industry, oil refining and petrochemicals competence, ensure a trusted and technology independent partner for delivering sustainable advanced transportation biofuels projects.

Biofuels are playing a significant role in mitigating climate change and shaping a sustainable future. The targets defined by the EU and governances are setting an ambition that will require a significant amount of development and investments in this sector. European regulations have created a vast market for advanced biofuels with currently a limited supply.

The mandated demand of 10 Mtoe of advanced biofuels alone would correspond to around 100 new biorefineries, requiring a capital investment of 30–50 billion Euros. In addition, due to the emission reduction targets in non-ETS undefined sectors, we expect the demand for liquid biofuels to be significantly higher than outlined in RED II.

Footnotes

  • undefined. Any company or body within the EU that emits a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions is included in the Emissions Trading System, commonly known as the ETS. This includes large industries, electricity generators, and the aviation industry. All greenhouse gas emissions that are not from companies in the ETS are called non-ETS emissions. Non-ETS emissions include greenhouse gas emissions from homes, cars, small businesses and agriculture. These are often collectively called the non-ETS sector. a↩
