Tax incentives are available in Sweden for the substitution of energy from non-renewable for biomass.
A biomass integrated-gasifiers (BIG) and the GTCC technology system is being built at Vaernamo, Sweden, with a capacity of 6 MWe + 9 MW combined-cycle district heating cogeneration.
Sweden obtains about 17 per cent of its energy (256 PJ) from biofuels.
The use of these fuels can be split into three different sectors: (a) forest products (157PJ); (b) individual households (40PJ); (c) district heating.
Sweden also imported a small amount of biomass fuels indicating the potential for the future development of an international trade in biofuels. A recent study of a 205 MW district heating biomass plant in Vaxjo, concludes that a combination of monetary and social factors has made Sweden's first biomass plant commercially viable.
