The ambition of the Bio4Fuels Centre is to reduce the impact of climate gas emissions from the transport sector through sustainable and economic production of biofuels. Biomass, in particular lowgrade fractions of wood from the forest and waste from agriculture, is a renewable resource that can potentially substitute the use of fossil resources in the transport sector, together with other renewable energy solutions.
Like everywhere the world over, the Bio4Fuels Centre had to make major adjustments to its activities and operations during most of 2020. For many of the Centre's research partners, they were able to switch over to a flexible combination of virtual operation while keeping as much of the core experimental activities going.
In 2019, Bio4Fuels researchers continued to pursue their development efforts on the key technology platforms relevant for Norway, with experimental work on thermochemical conversion routes also gaining momentum. Feedstock sustainability and resource management are a fundamental part of the Centre’s research activities, generating valuable insights for the debate on biofuels in Norway.
