  1. Cleantech Västerbotten A Competence Cluster in Biofuels • Powered by a profitable Industry • Heavily forested region • World-leading industries and brands • From hi-tech harvesting to utilizing residues and by-products • Actively developing sustainable forestry Competence Areas and Potential >

  2. Biofuel Waste RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS • Luleå University of Technology • Umeå University • Mimer Minerals and Metals Recycling Center MAJOR OPERATIONS MAJOR OPERATIONS • Skellefteå Kraft – Two world class CHP-plants • Umeå Energi – CHP plant under construction and world class Waste to Energy plant • Chemrec – Biodiesel from black liquor • Sunpine – New investment for biodiesel production • Aviosol – Process equipment for production of biodiesel • SEKAB – Ethanol production • Boliden – World leader in electronics recycling • Kuusakoski – Metals Recycling • Umeå Energy – Household waste to energy RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS • Luleå University of Technology • Umeå University • Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences • Energy Technology Centre, (LTU) • Centre for Environmental Research in Umeå > Biofuels & Wood Pellet Production • CHP (Combined Heat & Power production). Includes district heating/cooling Biodiesel and ethanol from cellulosic materials Combustion and air cleaning Machinery for material handling, incl. forest machinery

  3. Together with: • Contector/KGS (manufacturing) • LTU (research) • Skellefteå Kraft • Svevind • Statkraft • WPD MAJOR DEVELOPERS: > Wind Power – market driven opportunities Geographical advantages* opens unique growth potential 1) Västerbotten 16% of land area 2) Gävleborg 10% 3) Norrbotten 7% 4) Jämtland 7% *In order to reach the the EU CO2-target, Sweden will have to invest in 3000-6000 wind turbines in order to reach the target of 30 tWh by the year 2020. A national analysis – conducted by the Swedish Energy Agency – identifies Västerbotten as containing the largest area of national interest for windpower.

  4. > Knowledge based opportunities Coveted know-how for green industrial projects Environmental Consulting Solar Power Competence & manufacturing Regional, national & International • Gällivare Photovoltaics, GPV • Arctic Solar • N67 Solar • Texsun • Global Sun Engineering • Luleå University of Technology (research) • The Swedish mining industry (hydro power facilities) • Offshore Industry (northern Norway) • Environmental clean-up projects (Russian Kola Peninsula)
