  1. BioFuel Region - Mobilizing a whole Region for Biofuels Why and how to develop a sustainable transport system? info@biofuelregion.se www.biofuelregion.se

  2. BioFuel Region – where? 77 100 km2 (Holland 41 500 km2)

  3. 49 300 km2 forest area 1600 km2 agricultural area 500 700 people 22 municipalities 3 universities 700 km to Stockholm

  4. What determines your choice of transport? • Routine, old habits • Saving time • Access • Image, status • Economy (fuel prices, prices of cars) ___________________________ Do we need more technical sollutionsto change habits…?

  5. Vision and goals • BioFuel Region – a world-leading region in sustainable transport based on biofuels and bioproducts from renewable rawmaterials. • Therefore we focus upon • being in the forefront of societal change • industrial and regional development • increasing availability of renewable rawmaterials.

  6. Year 1900 Year 2000 Year 2100

  7. Year 1000 Year 2000 Year 3000

  8. BioFuel Region – Strategy? To mobilize, engage and activate a whole region for deployment of clean vehicles and biofuels… …by involving as many stakeholders as possible!

  9. Driving forces & opportunities • Climate Change • Energy supply & energy security • Industrial & regional development • Potential for increased biomass production

  10. What can we do about climate change and energy supply? • Curb uncontrolled growth of transport • Increase energy efficiency dramatically • Rapid system shift towards BioFuels

  11. How to change a system - Chain of development Feedstock Production Vehicles Distribution Laws Market forces

  12. What do people long for here on earth? Oil and gas? Societal change • Pursuing the issue • Arena for meetings andcollaboration • Contracts with members • Offers to companies

  13. How to change attitudes? • Lectures & discussions • Study groups and training • Educational material • Scholarships and projects • Collaboration with high school teachers • Green procurement of vehicles • Guided tours • Projects, networks and partnership • Engaging, activating as many aspossible…

  14. Industrial and regional development - Biorefinery

  15. How to stimulate industrial and regional growth? • Support to and cooperation with strategic partners • Communication platform • Forum for networking • Learning tourism

  16. Availability of renewable rawmaterials • Forest politics & policies • Silvicultural systems • Techniques for harvesting • Fertilization

  17. How to increase the availability of renewable rawmaterials ? • Influencing public opinion • Information and lobbying • Cooperation • Both Forestry & agriculture

  18. BioFuel Region – summing up • End of oil age – future of new opportunities • The situation is more critical then most people understand! • Everyone can contribute to sustainable solutions! • The need for action NOW is urgent!
