The BIP was created by the European Commission and it’s an industrial partnership in which policy makers, industry and other stakeholders team up with the goal to support the achievement of the target of 35 billion cubic metres annual production and use of sustainable biomethane by 2030, and to create the preconditions for a further ramp-up of its potential towards 2050. More details can be found here Home - BIP Europe (bip-europe.eu)

SEAS will be involved in the task force 5 - research, development and innovation needs.

In this Task Force 5 we will identify ongoing innovation efforts in biomethane production technology, feedstock collection, grid connection and end-use, and what is needed for innovation to be commercialised. 

Its goals are: 

  • Identification of innovative technologies and operations for: 
  • Identification of barriers for the commercialisation of abovementioned innovative technologies and operations, and formulation of necessary studies, experiments, pilots and demonstration projects to tackle these barriers.

SEAS is partner of  the Horizon Europe project CARBIOW and lessons learned from this project will be useful for the work at BIP Europe.

Svåheia is today a well-established industrial area with landfill and handling area for municipal waste. The rest of the area has great potential for new businesses that will establish or develop sustainable businesses, as part of the circular economy.
We have vacant areas that can be adapted by the interested companies

This was a great opportunity to meet and exchange experiences with colleagues from universities, industries and public sector working in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. It was also a surprise to see how international we're in this topic, since many of the participants are coming from other countries than nordic countries.

I could also visit the biogass laboratory at University of Linköping where they are developing interesting industrial projects in partnership with Scandinavian biogass.

During this conference I could show to some colleagues our Horizon Europe project CARBIOW- Carbon Negative Biofuels from Organic Waste, which is starting now in October 2022. There is a lot of interest to follow this project and to participate in other new projects in the Svåheia region.

A big thank you to the Swedish organizers for the very interesting discussions and motivating environment.

CARBIOW - Horizon Europe project

Svåheia Eiendom AS (SEAS) has the pleasure to annonce our success to obtain funds from the European Comission.  On the 20th of may we received information that  CARBIOW (Carbon Negative Biofuels from Organic Waste)  will be a new  research and innovation action  (RIA) project funded by the EU commission via the Horizon Europe program. 

Horizon
The categories of the evaluation process

Our proposal was sent at the end of February 2022.  We got the maximum score that a proposal can receive, 15, which means excellent!   Our consortium is composed of 11 partners from different countries (Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Finland). This is a very multidiciplinar consortium and is composed by research institutes, universities, industries and others.

This project will be coordinated by  our colleague researcher Ali Heyadati from  Fundacion Tecnalia Research and Innovation in  Spain, who has a lot of experience on this topic and has been working at EU level for quite some time. The CARBIOW project will receive around 4.8 M EUR. The duration of this project is 42 months.

The main goal of this project is to establish an efficient and scalable process to convert the organic fraction of municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) and other hard-to-utilize solid organic wastes to biofuels.   These can be later used for maritime and aviation sector. It’s also expected that our results can be used to decarbonize the cement industry via innovative carbonation technique.

We, from Svåheia Eiendom AS, are one the partners of this project and will be leadind workpackage 7 – Exploitation and business plan. We plan to do feasibility studies on the waste management and provision for the process as well as potential land use for building a demonstration plant. We will also investigate the possibility for supply of renewable electricity for electrolyzers and biofuel management in terms of handling, storage, and distribution.
