GAFT

With GAFT we aim to swiftly introduce liquid biofuels production in the Norwegian market through local production

The challenges is to be able to make the overall process economically viable at a scale that is suitable for Norway and by taking into account the Norwegian conditions and existing infrastructure. The success of this project means that we will have the opportunity to replace parts of the fossil fuels, with a sustainable alternative.

Two specific markets are targeted:

  • bio-jetfuel for the aviation sector
  • bio-diesel for the heavy road transport sector

Biomass, which is the starting point of the energy conversion route, will be a mixture of mostly low by-products that are available in the Norwegian market and some high quality products.
