Plant will use forestry waste; The BTL plant includes a 12 MW gasification plant
NESTE Oil of Finland and Swedish-Finnish paper and forest products manufacturer Stora Enso have inaugurated a biomass to liquid (BTL) demonstration plant in Varkaus in Finland.
The BTL plant, which includes a 12 MW gasification plant, is a JV and has been built primarily to test BTL technologies, including drying biomass, gasification, gas cleaning and Fischer-Tropsch catalysts. It will make use of forestry residues. The companies hope in the future to produce biocrude for renewable diesel on a commercial scale.
Some of the power for Stora Enso’s pulp mill in Varkaus will be provided by the plant.
