New Project Funded by Vinnova
The Swedish Innovation Agency has decided to support a project lead by Biorecro with 1 million SEK. Together with our partners, RISE Research Institute of Sweden and Söderenergi, we will work towards the common goal: creating a method for potential producers to prove their process is actually achieving negative emissions. The method will be tested […]
Negative Emissions CONVERGE
October 18 2021 Stockholm, Sweden: Today, Biorecro officially launched the negative emissions task in the CONVERGE project. Led by Biorecro, the task aims to explore the valorisation of negative emissions via BECCS based on green biodiesel production. Along side our partners, Biorecro will research the supply chain, life cycle, and business case of negative emissions […]
Report on BECCS at Igelsta Published
It’s a wrap! The pre-study of BECCS at Igelsta is now published and available on www.energimyndigheten.se. Biorecro and partner Söderenergi showed that the potential for negative emissions at the Igelsta plant could be as much as 800 000 tons per year. The study also showed that building BECCS at this site is crucial for the possibilities […]
Partners Meeting at MRCI
On February 18th 2021, Biorecro joined its partners in the Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative to discuss the progress and the strategy forward for the carbon capture and storage in the Midwest region of the United States. We were excited to see the development and inspiring activity within the region with new carbon capture projects and […]
International Workshop of CO2 capture and storage
The CONVERGE project, in which Biorecro is a partner, was a proud organizer of the International Workshop of CO2 capture and utilization, that took place today. Three posters were presented with the latest exciting findings of CONVERGE. They can all be found via our project website: www.converge-h2020.eu
BECCS at Igelsta plant
Together with heat and energy-producer Söderenergi, Biorecro has been granted funding from the Swedish Energy Agency. The grant will be used for performing an early-stage feasibility study for BECCS at the Igelsta plant. Swedish combined heat and power plants have great potential when it comes to producing negative emissions via BECCS in the future, but […]
LANDMARC Kicks Off!
How can we use the landbased ecosystems to store more carbon? New EU-project LANDMARC will find out! Biorecro and 18 partners in the LANDMARC consortia will spend the next four years mapping the potential for CO2-uptake in different parts of the world. Explore more on www.landmarc2020.eu
Swedish Ministry of Environment report on BECCS
The Swedish Ministry of Environment has released its full report The Path to a Climate-Positive Future. The report aims describes a strategy and action plan for how Sweden can achieve negative greenhouse gas emission by 2045 at the latest. Biorecro research on the potential for BECCS in Swedish pulp & paper industry is among the […]
CONVERGE is granted €5 million by the EU
Biorecro is part of a research consortium that has been granted €5M from the EU Commission through the Horizon2020 program to carry out the project CONVERGE, short for Carbon valorization in energy efficient green fuels. The project aims at developing a more efficient production of biodiesel, all while producing negative emissions at the same time. […]
Seminar with Swedish Ministry of Finance
How can Sweden reach climate targets for 2045? Biorecro is presenting at a seminar at the Swedish Ministry of Finance with their Expert Group on Public Economics (ESO).
