Owner’s Engineer

BioShare is engaged as Owner’s Engineer in a major gasification project in Central Europe. Leveraging deep expertise in process technology, gasification, materials, and control systems, BioShare supports the project developer across key areas including risk assessment, process design, and control system configuration—ensuring a robust and bankable project foundation.

New Project Development in Central Sweden

BioShare is currently advancing the development of a new energy project in Central Sweden, centered around the acquisition and transformation of an existing industrial site into a next-generation biorefinery hub. The project aims to repurpose existing infrastructure into a flexible production platform for renewable fuels and carbon products, including biomethane, electro-methane, and high-quality biochar for

New Op-Ed: Sweden’s Combined Heat and Power Needs a New Perspective

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Christer Gustavsson and Mattias Backmark argue that Sweden’s discussion on combined heat and power (CHP) is based on an outdated logic — one that measures utility in the moment rather than over time.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

BioShare AB Launches New Website

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

Fine Chemicals

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

Electro Fuels

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

Advanced Biofuels

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

Bio-methane

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
