Alternatives for use of biomass for bioenergy

Larger projects that are underway at present include

Hardwood biomass: "Mapping and analysis of commercial areas of utilisation for white hardwood biomass". This is a project funded by EU Interreg III A Nordkalotten program, with support from Troms og Nordlands provincial governments. The project is a cooperation with Arvidsjaur district council and Glommers Miljøenergi AB. The goal is to develop a profitable use for local hardwood - as pellets, central heating or as a liquid fuel.

Energy grass: "Lifecycle based bioenergy in cold climates". An application has been sent to Interreg III A Nordkalotten in cooperation with Arvidsjaur district council and Glommers Miljøenergi AB. Development of the concept for cultivating "energy grass" for bioenergy, together with use of the ash from combustion as fertiliser.
