Finland's VTT Technical Research Centre has created a sustainable way of turning forestry by-products into transport fuels. The project is called 'Biofuels for the Future' and it involves using wood waste to produce biodiesel from agricultural waste. Oil refineries then process these products into renewable fuels or chemicals.
Finland's VTT Technical Research Centre has created a sustainable way of turning forestry by-products into transport fuels. The system uses gasification to turn bark, sawdust and other waste into intermediate products, such as liquid hydrocarbons and methanol, in facilities that are integrated with power or district heating plants. Oil refineries then process these products into renewable fuels or chemicals.
