f3 puts major emphasis on dissemination of results and findings. Find the latest reports, newsletters and other publications from f3 and the collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system), as well as information on calendar events, here.
Rasmus Einarsson and Martin Persson, Chalmers, who participated in the project Biogas from agricultural wastes and residues - where and how much? that was carried out within the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system) have published an article in PLoS ONE titled "Analyzing key constraints to biogas production from crop residues and manure in the EU - A spatially explicit model". The article is available through open access...
With an intense start of the fall season, preparing for a new, third, phase of f3 and the collaborative research program together with the Swedish Energy Agency as well, the f3 office has been enhanced with Ulrika Claesson Colpier. Ulrika has worked as a project manager at CIT since 2016 and will assist the f3 office in its work as the Swedish advocacy platform for Horizon2020. She will also handle some of the projects in the above mentioned collaborative research program Renewable fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system) as they finish during the last months of 2017, and be an supportive part in planning and preparing for the...
For crop-based biogas plants, the cost for buying the crops is a predominant production cost and efficient systems for production, harvesting, transportation and storage are therefore of major importance. Furthermore, the competition on land between food and energy production has impacted the discussion. EU has decided to strongly limit the production of transportation fuel based on crops grown on arable land, a decision that affects crop-based biogas production. For this reason, it is interesting to examine ways to reduce substrate costs for crops as well as to find alternative crops that are not competing with food production.

Industrial symbiosis involves collaborations among diverse, and predominantly local and regional, actors that create additional economic and environmental value through by-product exchanges, utility and service sharing, and joint innovations. The benefits to the solutions are often beyond what can be achieved by acting alone. As the resulting resource productivity improvements create both environmental and business value, the concept has recognized potential to contribute to the development of more sustainable businesses and economies, e.g. development of biofuels.

In March, f3 announced the finished project Techno-economic analysis of biomethane production with novel upgrading technology that had been performed within the f3 and Swedish Energy Agency collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system). At that point, only part of the results were available due to ongoing peer review of a second scientific article from the project.
This second article has now been published and therefore the final project report has also been made available on the...
One of the first projects to start within f3 was titled Optimal localisation of second generation biofuel production in Sweden and became what would be the first in a series of three projects called BeWhere Sweden. The project series has investigated different factors affecting cost efficiency in production of forest based biofuels. The focus has been on placement of the production plants with the help of development of an geographically explicit model that takes a number of different conditions into account.
The third part of the project series is still on-going and is carried out within the f3 and...
Registration is now open for the concluding conference for the f3 and Swedish Energy Agency collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system). The conference is held in Uppsala on 25-26 October and arranged by f3 and the Swedish Energy Agency jointly with SLC, the Swedish Life Cycle Center.
Come and take part of presentations of results from 29 projects within the research program, learn about the current plans and efforts of the Swedish Energy Agency regarding renewable fuels, take part in an acitivity arranged by SLC, engage in mingle and networking and much more. A detailed program will be available later.

Local and regional authorities have an important role in the transition to fossil-free transport systems, but there is uncertainty regarding what choices to make in procurement as well as long-term planning. A recently finished project within the f3 and Swedish Energy Agency collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system) has aimed at analyzing how visions and strategies in sixteen Swedish municipalities can be used to strengthen the understanding of the actions needed, what information is needed in different situations, and how available ICT solutions support decision-...
During the spring, seven new small f3 projects were granted funding from f3 partners and started their work. The projects have the following titles and project managers:
-
Vehicles and infrastructure for heavy long-haul transports fueled by electricity and hydrogen
Stefan Grönkvist, KTH -
Evaluation of biofuel production costs in relation to the new reduction obligation quota system
Erik Furusjö, IVL -
