| Project Name | Highbio 2 |
| ProjectDescription | The project aims to
• Contribute to the development of clean and efficient technologies for bio energy production
• Contribute to the development of bio-based fuels and raw materials for chemical industry
• Through research and development support small-scale heat and power at local level
The goal of this project is to develop methods by which you can use biomass more versatile than before. The aim is also to expand the region's energy self-sufficiency and develop methods by which to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The technical objective of this project is to develop the gasification process of biomass (especially wood and logging residue) with different types of gasification and the development of treatment and the use of syngas for the production of biofuels and biochemicals.
