R&D Projects

f3 carries out and finances R&D projects that complement ongoing research in the field of renewable transportation fuels and related system aspects. The projects are e.g. systems and comparative studies, and analyses of synergies between structures, processes, and technology platforms for industry and biofuel production. The project categories are closely described here.

Below is a list of both on-going and finished projects. Read more about the projects and results under each description.
