In March this year, the Biojet Inquiry presented a proposal to introduce a reduction obligation quota for the aviation sector, with the purpose of increasing drop-in biofuels in aviation fuel. On May 27, Maria Wetterstrand and Anna Elofsson from the Biojet Inquiry visited a lunch seminar at Chalmers to talk about how the work was carried through, e.g. how and why certain system boundaries were drawn when emissions were assessed, and which solutions would be applicable to reach targets of emission reductions.

A longer summary of the seminar is available in Swedish. The seminar was jointly arranged by Chalmers’ Areas of Advance Energy and Transport, respectively, and f3.
