Danish energy group Dong has entered a collaboration with Neste Oil to develop technology for producing renewable fuel from biomass.
The joint technology development agreement with the global renewable fuels producer will incorporate Dong’s Inbicon technology to transform agricultural waste into renewable diesel and aviation fuel.
“We are continuously developing our Inbicon technology in order to expand the use of agricultural residues,”said Henrik Maimann, vice president at Dong Energy.
“We are now able to produce high-quality cellulosic sugars that can be used in various applications, and we see Neste Oil as the obvious partner when developing a technology where we use these cellulosic sugars for renewable fuel production.”
The technology has already passed laboratory and pilot tests and is currently being verified on a larger scale, Dong said in a statement.
“With this collaboration we have a partner for the further development of our technology, and at the same time Neste Oil is able to develop their own technology by using our product,” Maimann added.
Neste Oil has been running a microbial oil pilot plant in Porvoo, Finland since 2012.
