In a newly published op-ed in Ny Teknik, BioShare’s Christer Gustavsson and Mattias Backmark argue that Sweden’s discussion on combined heat and power (CHP) is based on an outdated logic — one that measures utility in the moment rather than over time. Commissioned by Sveriges Ingenjörer, AFRY recently examined the potential of Sweden’s district heating and CHP systems to increase electric output and contribute to national security. While the analysis highlights relevant challenges, it stays

BioShare launches its CEREX™ technology platform. Read all about its benefits here.
The Swedish Energy Agency has decided to grant BioShare funding through the national Industriklivet program to carry out a feasibility study. The study will assess the potential to convert an existing combined heat and power (CHP) plant into a biorefinery producing renewable electricity, heat, and bio-based products.
We are proud to announce the launch of our new website! The updated platform highlights BioShare AB’s pioneering work in thermal conversion of biomass and plastics, producing bio-methane, e-methane, pyrolysis oil, and biochar. The site is designed as a hub for insights into our technology, ongoing projects, and news about the energy transition. Visitors can now explore dedicated sections on our Technology, follow the development of our Projects, and stay informed through regular updates. We
Biomass is more than just a fuel—it’s a complex and untapped source of high-value molecules. Within forestry and agricultural residues lie small but significant concentrations of fine chemicals that can be extracted and refined into valuable inputs for the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and specialty chemicals industries. These bioactive compounds—such as polyphenols, terpenes, and organic acids—represent a unique opportunity to move beyond energy production and into biorefining, where every part of the biomass is used to
As the global energy transition gathers momentum, electrification is leading the way—but it cannot solve everything. In sectors where batteries are impractical or inefficient, electrofuels—also known as e-fuels or RFNBOs (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin)—offer a flexible, scalable solution for decarbonization. Electrofuels are synthetic fuels produced by combining green hydrogen, generated through electrolysis of water using renewable electricity, with captured or generated carbon dioxide—often from biogenic or atmospheric sources. The result is a suite of
As we transition toward a carbon-neutral future, biofuels will remain a vital part of the energy mix—especially in areas where electrification is limited by technical, economic, or practical constraints. Heavy transport, maritime operations, aviation, and high-temperature industrial processes all depend on dense, storable fuels. For these sectors, renewable liquid and gaseous biofuels are not just a fallback—they’re a cornerstone of the sustainable energy system. Importantly, biofuels also offer one of the most effective solutions for
In many industrial sectors, natural gas and LPG remain critical energy carriers—valued for their clean combustion and ability to deliver high-temperature heat for demanding processes. However, these fossil gases are also a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. The good news? Replacing them with renewable synthetic biogas is one of the most impactful and technically accessible steps industries can take toward decarbonization. By using residual biomass from forestry and agriculture—resources that are often already available
Plastics have revolutionized modern life—offering durability, versatility, and cost-efficiency that have transformed industries from healthcare to packaging. Yet, this same durability has become one of its greatest environmental challenges. Once discarded, plastic lingers for decades, if not centuries, with waste now found in virtually every ecosystem on Earth—from ocean floors to Arctic ice.
Forest residues, often referred to as GROT (branches and tops), represent a significant untapped resource for advanced biofuel production. In BioShare’s concept, these materials are processed through pyrolysis or gasification in fluidized bed boilers.
