Project Summary – Methane or Methanol? Sustainable methane and methanol both have the potential to play a crucial role in the decarbonization of industry and society, serving as transportation fuels, hydrogen carriers, or feedstocks for producing a wide range of other chemicals and fuels. This project focused on evaluating and comparing the conditions for methane- and methanol-based value chains within the West Sweden Chemicals and Materials Cluster, with production based on biomass gasification. Electrification was

Feasibility Study for Industrial Demonstration of converting an existing boiler into a biorefinery
BioShare has initiated a comprehensive feasibility study to explore the establishment of a large-scale production facility for biomethane, biochar, and e-methane using residual biomass and renewable electricity. An application for co-funding has been submitted to the Swedish Energy Agency’s Industriklivet program, which supports industrial projects with significant decarbonization potential.
Biochar is gaining global attention as a powerful climate solution—providing a scalable, cost-effective way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while creating value-added products. Produced through thermochemical conversion of biomass, biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material that resists decomposition for hundreds to thousands of years. When applied to soil, stored in construction materials, or used in industrial applications, it offers a practical form of carbon capture and storage (CCS). For CHP (combined heat and
The EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852 establishes a classification system to determine which economic activities are environmentally sustainable. It aims to guide investment towards activities that support the EU’s environmental objectives, including climate change mitigation and adaptation, sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, transition to a circular economy, pollution prevention and control, and protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. Criteria for Environmental Sustainability To be considered environmentally sustainable, a manufacturing activity
– What You Need to Know of renewable targets and RFNBO implementation The European Union is accelerating its energy transition to meet climate neutrality by 2050. As part of this shift, the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III) was adopted in 2023 to reinforce the EU’s renewable energy targets and provide stronger market signals for investment in clean technologies. RED III builds on previous iterations by introducing sector-specific mandates, tightening rules for renewable fuel certification,
