Incentives

• Tax exemption
• Reduced value for company cars (förmånsvärde)
• A law for filling stations (to avoid hen and egg)
• Governmental percurement
• Free parking
• Research and development

Taxation of fuels in Sweden (Oct 05)
Subventions for biofuels 1200 Mkr/year
10
Is this the right way for Sweden and Europe?

• First generation biofuels (agricultural products
  from food industry)
• Energy efficient enough?
• CO2 reduction?
• Enough raw material?
• Second generation (gasification or hydrolysation,
  fermentation of cellulosic biomass)
• Better energy efficiency?
• Better CO2 reduction?
• Raw material?
• Technology development

11
Sweden focus RD investments on

• Second generation biofuels (pilot plants)
• Gasification of biomass
• Gasification of black liquor
• Ethanol from cellulose
• Vehicle development
• Biomass potential development
• The cost 150 Mkr/year
• GOAL To create new business and security of
  supply in Sweden

Technology Platform BIOFUELS

• Lobby group for the EU-commission
• Industry hostage to share to RTD cost with the
  governments (21)
• Strategic RTD
• Commersialisation of results
• Make Europe competetive

The vision

• 2030, the European Union has 25 of its road
  transport fuel by clean and CO2- efficient
  biofuels
• The biofuel is mainly from a competitive European
  industry and will decreases EU fossil fuel import
  dependence
• Biofuels are produced using sustainable and
  innovative technologies

Conclusions

• Sweden has a leading role in Europe for
  introduction of biofuels (ethanol) on the market
  (incentives)
• EU-kommission focus on the area, especially in
  FP7
• Germany has a big part biodiesel, going towards
  low blends
• Interesting switch for the tax exemption in
  Germany
• Biofuel directive has been efficient for the
  introduction
• The Technology Platform for biofuels could have
  major impact on investments in RTD for second
  generation biofuels
• More resources for research and development is
  necessary
