Student from Uppsala University - Sweden. Below is what will be added to the "Biofuels in Sweden" wikipedia page in a projectwork context.

Biofuels are a flourishing market in Sweden; more than 17 starts-up are involved in either biofuel production directly or processes for biofuels production. Among them, the group Svensk Etanol Kemi AB (Swedish Ethanol Chemistry AB) is one of the leaders in Europe’s ethanol production. The company is based in Domsjö and its refinery started ethanol production as early as 1909. Proud of its 100 years of experience, the group SEKAB is now moving on toward second generation cellulose-based ethanol production and other green chemistry products. ED95 is the flagship product of the company and is adapted to diesel engines. 1) Swedish Biofuels AB, based in Stockholm, is a company working on producing fully synthetic equivalents to existing fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Those new generation biofuels produced from different non-food feedstocks will enable a smooth transition from fossil energy to the new era of biomass based fuels. In collaboration with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Swedish Biofuels AB is developing BioJet100, a 100% biologically based jet fuel. 2) Founded in 2007 as a project to find sustainable processes for production of renewable fuels, Ecoil AB is now, despite its young age, a renowned company based in Kungsör producing a wide variety of biofuels. The research project was conducted at Umea University as a private project. 3) Among many others, EC100 is a renewable oil based on rape seed used in house heating. Drottningholm Palace, residency of the Swedish Royal Family is equipped with a standard heating oil device running with Ecoil AB flagship product: EC100. 4) Bioprocess Control Sweden AB is a very competitive company in biogas processes, the company created in 2006 is the market leader in advanced instrumentation, control and automation of anaerobic digestion processes. The company based in Lund exports its knowledge and expertise in almost 60 countries. Their flagship product, the Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS), is one of the most used biogas instruments around the world, both by academies or industries of biogass industry, to conduct tests assessing biochemical methane potential tests (BMP tests) 5) The company VärmlandsMetanol AB, founded in 2001 by Dr. Björn Gillberg, is planning on building the world’s first commercial plant for methanol production from gasified biomass. Twenty hectares of land were acquired by VärmlandsMetanol in Hagfors. The estimated cost of the project is around 3 billion SEK and the daily production expected to reach 375 000 liters from 1 000 tonnes of wood. The neighbouring town of Hagfors will benefit from this plant by centralized heating based at the refinery. 6) 7)
