Energy Efficiency From Renewable Motor Fuels

The Swedish Energy Agency and universities support biomass projects such as

• Black liquor gasification in Piteå• Gasification of biomass in Värnamo • Ethanol from cellulose in

Örnsköldsvik

Energy Efficiency From Renewable Motor Fuels

The Act (2005:1248) Concerning Requirement to Offer Renewable Motor Fuels, known as The Pump Act, has brought about

The availability of renewable motor fuels

The use of renewable motor fuels

Carbon dioxide emissions

Energy Efficiency From Renewable Motor Fuels

The use of renewable fuels in the transport sector has increased faster for a decade.

The Increased Use and Production of Energy Efficient Vehicles

• Ethanol hybrid buses by Scania

• Electricity buses by Volvo

• Bio-gas buses by other companies

• Biogas-powered trains
