It was initi- ated in December 2014 and finalized in June 2015. A reference group has been tied to the project, consisting of the following persons: Anna-Karin Jannasch, Energiforsk AB (author and project co-ordinator) Martin Ragnar, Energiforsk AB (author) Jenny Rissler, Energiforsk AB until 02-2015 (author) Björn Fredriksson Möller, E.ON Gas Sverige AB Tina Helin, E.ON Gas Sverige AB Conny Johansson, Stora Enso Hylte AB Mattias Wesslau, Swedegas AB The project has been financially supported by the Swedish Energy Agency, E.ON Gas Sverige AB, Stora Enso Hylte AB, Swedegas AB, Göteborg Energi AB, Kraft- ringen Energi AB, Öresundskraft AB, SP Sveriges Tekniska Forskningsinstitut AB, Vattenfall AB, Tekniska Verken i Linköping AB and Dansk Gasteknisk Center A/S. 3 Summary In order to realize a fossil free vehicle fleet in Sweden in 2030, it is necessary to intensify the biofuel production and that large-scale gasification plants are estab- lished. While large research resources have been devoted to ascertain the tech- nical details on the gasification and downstream processing, the interest in logisti- cal issues in terms of both biomass into and the product gas out from the site has until now been much more limited.
