FINAL PROGRAMME INSIDE

ADVANCEDBI FUELS

17-19 MAY 2017, GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN

WELCOME TO THE ADVANCED BIOFUELS CONFERENCE IN GOTHENBURG! Biofuels are an ever important piece in the transition to a fossil fuel-free world. Advanced biofuels, being sustainable and regardless of resources or technology, grown in forests or on agricultural land are vital in keeping global warming below 2°C as agreed. The transport sectors in aviation, maritime and on land benefit from biofuels bringing growth to a bioeconomy, adding security to supply, energy and cost.

While the market is ready, fossil fuel prices are at low levels and there are different political ambi-tions on both national and European levels. What long-term policy and instruments will the Euro-pean Union adopt to reduce CO2 emissions? How can the industry create business opportunities for this emerging market, taking advantage of technological innovations?

Biofuels have the potential to unlock the downward trend in increasing carbon emissions from the transport sector, replacing fossil carbon with renewable carbon. The technology is there and the biofuels industry is ready to make investments. Now is the time to pave the way for direct measures, fulfilling ambitious goals for biofuels to an exit for fossil fuels!

We would like to thank our great sponsors and partners for supporting us in organizing this conference.

We have three exciting days in Gothenburg and we welcome all of you delegates taking part, sharing information, exploring your business opportunities and developing this industry further!

JOIN OUR STUDY TOURS 17 MAY!On Wednesday 17 May there will be 3 pre-conference study tours to choose from:

09.15 Departure from Gothenburg Central Station, outside First Hotel G, Nils Ericsonsplatsen 4

09.30 Departure from Scandic Rubinen, Kungsportsavenyn 24

12.00 Arrival back at Scandic Rubinen for The Orange Tour.

17.00 Arrival back at Scandic Rubinen for The Blue Tour and The Green Tour.

THE BLUE TOUR:

STOP 1. PREEM REFINERYPreem is Sweden’s largest fuel company. Preem’s two refineries in Gothenburg and Lysekil are among the most modern and environmentally adapted in Europe. Preem is an important player in the conversion to renewable fuels. Preem’s vision is to lead the transition towards a sustainable society. Therefore, the company produces renewable fuels (HVO), diesel and gasoline that work in today’s and tomorrow’s vehicles.

STOP 2. VOLVO TRUCKS AND EXPERIENCE CENTERVolvo Trucks is the second largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in the world. This tour includes a visit to an exhibition and a presentation. A guided tour in the exhibition will describe the company’s history, trucks and services and how the company innovates to create value to customers and society. There will also be a presentation by Lars Mårtensson, Director Environment and Innovation, about Volvo Truck’s view on future transports with special focus on fuels.

STOP 3. SÖDRA CELL VÄRÖSödra is Sweden’s largest forest-owner association, with more than 50 000 forest owners as members. We will visit Södra’s plant at Värö, Sweden’s most modern pulp mill and largest saw mill. Together they form a true biorefinery, producing pulp, wood products, pellets and other fuels, tall oil, biopower and heat for district heating. The different units at the site cooperate for high energy efficiency.

Please note that registration is mandatory and the study tours are open for conference delegates only!

STOP 1. GOBIGASGoBiGas is the world’s largest project to demonstrate gasification of woody biomass to biomethane. Göteborg Energi, in cooperation with Chalmers University of Techno-logy, continues its work to improve the plant’s efficiency and develop a cost-effective process in order to be competitive even with low oil prices and inadequate policies in place. You will listen to a presentation about the facility, the technology, research and the challenges. We will also make an outside tour of the plant.

STOP 2. St1 REFINERYSt1 Refinery in Gothenburg is a modern refinery annually processing 4 million ton-nes of crude oil from the North Sea. St1 has one of the most energy efficient refi-neries in the world. St1 is a pioneer in advanced biofuels, producing ethanol from different waste materials. Today St1 is commissioning Cellunolix® plant – the world’s first commercial demonstration plant producing cellulosic ethanol from saw dust.

STOP 3. PERSTORP BIOPRODUCTS REFINERYAt the visit to Perstorp’s site in Stenungsund you will see Scandinavia’s most modern plant for biodiesel and biodiesel post treatment. You will also see how biogas is incor-porated in large scale gasification and downstream chemicals production, with focus on the plants for heavy alcohols and their exciting development to become the pilots for the next major biobased diesel replacement molecules.

THE GREEN TOUR:

THE ORANGE TOUR:

STOP 1. RENEWABLE MARINE FUELScandiNAOS AB in Sweden is developing fossil free propulsion for vessels since 2009, when we started evaluating methanol as a fuel for marine engines. Today m/s Stena Germanica is provided with methanol for their main engines totaling 24 MW. As a ship design company we have participated in the fuel storage, bunkering and safety design.

Since two years back we are heading two fossil free ship projects, Summeth and Green Pilot. Summeth (Sustainable Marine Methanol) aims for market and safety/risk analysis, vessel system design and engine laboratory tests of me-thanol engines.

Green Pilot is a straight hands-on project where the Swedish Maritime Adminis-tration has provided a two engine pilot vessel to be converted to be operable on methanol. ScandiNAOS has access to a Scania 13 liter diesel engine of 405 kW and a Fitech W12 engine of 320 kW. Both engines have now been conver-ted to run on methanol/ethanol and been load tested. The Fitech engine is now installed in the pilot vessel to be test run during the summertime.

We would like to demonstrate that fossil free alcohols are efficient and environ-mental friendly fuels to meet the future requirements of climate neutral trans-ports. Therefore, ScandiNAOS invites you to Klippan, Göteborg, for a demon-stration on board our converted pilot vessel.

Please note that this study visit will be back at Scandic Rubinen at appr. 12.00.

Please note that registration is mandatory and the study tours are open for conference delegates only!

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE SESSIONS – WHAT TO EXPECT! Within Advanced Biofuels Conference 2017 you will be able to participate in several sessions focusing on different themes. Depending on your own interest and profile you can choose among them, the mini expo with exhibitors and the pre-conference study tours.

POLITICAL STRATEGIES & VISIONSWith a rapidly changing transport sector, how will the political ambitions nationally and internationally lead the way?

POLICY CHANGES FOR A CIRCULAR BIOECONOMYThe need for policy changes are clear, what is needed for the auto and the biofuel industry?

MARKET AND INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVES ON SUSTAINABLE BIOFUELSHow will sustainable biofuels from agriculture and forest continue to be important in the transition to a fossil fuel-free world?

BIOFUELS IN AVIATION AND MARITIME TRANSPORTHow can the development of biojet and biofuels for shipping take-off internationally?

FOSSIL-FREE LAND TRANSPORT SECTORMaximizing the value derived from the biomass feedstock in a biorefinery.

BIOFUEL AND ENGINE DEVELOPMENT FOR A CHANGING CLEANER TRANSPORT SECTORDisruptive technologies and e-mobility, is there a future for combustions engines?

SUSTAINABLE BIOFUELS AS GOAL OR A DRIVERTransforming and re-carbonizing the transport sector with sustainable biofuels.

MYTH-BUSTERS ON RENEWABLE FUELS!Today, the debate run high on biofuels, their impacts and sustainability and both biofuels on the market and biofuels under development are under scrutiny. This session will provide (scientifically based) perspectives on the development, production and use of environme-ntally, economically and socially sustainable renewable transport fuels, as part of a future sustainable society. The researchers all address common myths in the public debate on biofuels and show, using a systems approach, how scientifically based knowledge can provide gui-dance to policy makers, government, industry and other organizations. Thus, the session will provide food for thought as well as a guide to managing the myth mine-field — and the roaring trade in (dis)information about biofuels, feedstocks, and social impact.

VOLVO BI-FUEL: A UNIQUE BIOGAS VEHICLEBased on Volvo Cars’ four-cylinder T5 petrol engine – delivering 254 hp (model V90) resp. 245 hp (model V60) and 350 Nm of torque – the Bi-Fuel configura-tion provides premium performance and environmental benefits while running on biomethane or compressed natural gas (CNG).

The Volvo Bi-Fuel is produced at the Volvo Cars factory in Torslanda, Gothenburg. Final installations are done at a Westport facility located at the Volvo Car assembly plant in Gothenburg.

Read more about the Volvo Bi Fuel and Westport

Please visit the car exhibition and learn more about biofuel engines, the service operation and experiences so far! Take a chance to see for yourself the latest technology, gadgets and future trends from the developers!

FUEL-FLEXIBLE SAAB 9-5 CARThis fuel-flexible Saab 9-5 car is originally designed for E85, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. This has been complemented with methanol. There are about 230 000 E85 cars in Sweden which are suitable for this Gasoline Ethanol Methanol mixture (GEM). Only a small service operation is needed to replace some plastic parts that are in contact with the fuel.

The methanol used in this car is produced by waste products from the Swedish forest. In customized engines the methanol efficiency may even be higher than in a diesel engine.

Read more on methanol at Methanol Institute, www.methanol.org

SCANIA EURO 6 ETHANOL TRUCKEthanol is the world’s largest biofuel. With up to 90% CO2 reduction, ethanol formulated for use in modified diesel engines is widely available and making a cleaner difference right now. ED95 fuel consists of 95% hydrous ethanol and 5% performance additives. Scania’s ethanol engine is most cost-efficient with adaptations to run on ethanol in all conditions – from the coldest to the hottest day of the year. The efficiency of our ethanol engines are as high as conventional diesel – so you get the power you expect from a Scania truck.
