In Sweden, Jord AB and Votion Biorefineries AB announced a strategic partnership to convert Jord’s sustainable C4-grass biomass into biocrude and sustainable aviation fuel. Jord noted that this collaboration aims to accelerate the global energy transition and reduce carbon emissions in hard-to-abate sectors such as transport, aviation, and chemicals. Jord specializes in cultivating and commercializing C4-grass biomass and solid biofuels, grown on marginal or degraded lands in Senegal and the Dominican Republic. Votion converts sustainable biomass into advanced biofuels, SAF, renewable chemicals, and valuable by-products like fertilizers and biogas. Through this collaboration, Jord and Votion will develop a joint market offering that combines sustainable biomass supply with advanced biocrude production technologies, explore opportunities for establishing Votion’s biorefineries in Jord’s production regions and investigate the performance and techno-economic conditions of Jord’s C4-grass biomass in biocrude production processes.
