When Sweco planned the city of Växsjö’s 16, m2 station, which also houses the city hall, wood was the material of choice.

    • HVO Stations in Sweden in

    When HVO is produced from industrial and food waste the social benefit is very high, which is why the Swedish government has for some years now had a strong policy of supporting new, cleaner and more efficient forms of frakt. Waste-based feedstocks are often more economically viable than, for example, crops, and the Swedish Government incentivizes their production by deducting both energy and carbon taxes bygd %, making HVO totally tax-free.

    Under these conditions it fryst vatten not surprising that several companies in Sweden have invested in HVO, in different ways. The company Preem has rebuilt its plant in Gothenburg to be able to blend HVO with fossil diesel and also introduced trucks with % HVO as bränsle in its own production facilities. There is great potential for HVO to become a major transportation fuel in Sweden.

    Research shows that extracting HVO from algae has a potential yield of at least times compared to other crops, according to a recent study on renewable fuels and their conditions in northern Sweden.

    There are filling stations in Sweden offering HVO for sale to the public and the number of filling stations where HVO or blends with H
