In Sweden, researchers at Chalmers University have used an advanced model that includes more technologies and a higher level of detail than previous similar studies. The model also shows how all society sectors affect each other within the energy system. The new study thus provides an expanded knowledge base for policy development – not least […]
In Sweden, high-starch algae are important in biofuel production, as a feed supplement in agriculture and as an efficient way to bind carbon dioxide. Researchers at Uppsala University have now found a new method to control starch storage in algae—a finding with potential applications in areas such as reducing greenhouse gases. In the new study, […]
In Sweden, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions introduced the Wärtsilä Gas Solutions Puregas BC, for purifying and liquefying the carbon dioxide captured from biogas upgrading plants, enabling a robust, energy efficient, carbon negative, and profitable process for plant owners. Traditional biogas upgrading plants have been based on the ‘catch and release’ of the carbon dioxide. Instead of […]
In Sweden, as a groundbreaking move toward a more sustainable future for the offshore industry, Northern Offshore Services announces the delivery of the world’s first 100% biomethanol-powered crew transfer vessel (CTV). M/V Transporter, designed, developed and provided by N-O-S, is a conversion from A-Class to T-class. The vessel is a 25-meter, high-speed catamaran with an […]
In Sweden, Greencarrier is launching the ‘Shipping Made Fossil-Free’ campaign. As part of the initiative, Greencarrier is offering businesses a free trial of its Maritime Biofuel Insets solution, allowing them to see firsthand how they can drastically reduce their shipping-related fossil emissions. Greencarrier is making 1,000 metric tons of Maritime Biofuel Insets available to customers […]
In Sweden, VARO Energy reached agreement to acquire Preem Holding AB and Preem AB through the purchase of 100% of the share capital of the parent company, Corral Petroleum Holdings AB (“CPH”), in an all-cash transaction. Subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals the transaction is expected to be completed in […]
In Sweden, the world’s first large-scale BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) project, deploying Capsol’s capture technology, is now moving into construction as Stockholm Exergi has made a final investment decision (FID). The facility is scheduled to begin operations in 2028, permanently removing 800,000 metric tons of CO2 annually while setting a precedent for […]
In Sweden, the Nordic Investment Bank and Eskilstuna Biogas AB have signed a seven-year loan to co-finance the construction of a new biogas production plant in a facility near Eskilstuna, Sweden. The EUR 15 million loan is supported by the European Union under the InvestEU programme and is eligible under NIB’s InvestEU Framework Operation Green […]
In Sweden, HYBRIT’s pilot project for hydrogen gas storage has now been completed and reported to the Swedish Energy Agency. The results show that it is technically possible to store fossil-free hydrogen gas for producing fossil-free iron and steel on an industrial scale. This can also reduce the variable operating costs of hydrogen production by […]
In Sweden, cultivated meat startup Re:meat has successfully closed an oversubscribed funding round, raising €1 million (US$1.1 million) to establish Scandinavia’s first “Re:meatery,” a facility designed to produce cultivated meat using modular, brewing-inspired technology. The process is aimed at cost-efficiency, allowing food companies to integrate cultivated meat into everyday meals without premium pricing, according to […]
