1. Ethanol production in ÖrnsköldsvikInaugurated in May 2004Production of ethanol from cellulosic raw materials

2. Gasification of black liquor in PiteåInaugurated in 2005Gasification of black liquor to synthesis gas for subsequent production of biofuels like DME, or for heat and power

Pilot plants for the development of biofuels for transport
