On-going projects
• Scenario analysis – Roadmap 2050 • Analysis of site specific parameters • Update of industrial integration data
Planned projects
• BeWhere Sweden III – Agriculture-based biofuels and benefits for society
• Future district heating – Competition of biomass and possible conflicting targets
• Realization of future biorefineries: from demonstration to optimal localization
Summary BeWhere Sweden
• Detailed site-specific integration data • Inclusion of new and distributed
value chains • Complements aggregated energy
