ABC 2020 – the role of renewable diesel
The Swedish Bioenergy Association (Svebio) is organizing the 6th Advanced Biofuels Conference (ABC) which provides you with the latest on renewable transportation fuels, novel technologies and policy developments. Meet the leading players and experts from around the world in Stockholm at ABC 2020, September 15-17.
With the European Union’s (EU) new Renewable Energy Directive, advanced biofuels are together with conventional so-called first-generation biofuels, essential for replacing fossil fuels. International development is booming with several new mega-projects, also for the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and biochemicals.
With six sessions over two days, the conference will showcase the latest developments in European and international policy, the transition from fossil to renewable fuels and new technologies, investments and partnerships. Leading companies will present solutions with current and new production of biofuels. In addition, the development in vehicles and clean biofuels like HVO100, bioCNG, ethanol and methanol, and FAME to complement today’s biofuels blended with fossil fuels.
