　　报告摘要：

　　This talk will discuss the journey of RenFuel that intends to build the first lignin-based biofuel plant in the world together with the pulp mill Rottneros and oil refinery Preem. The talk will both take up technology development as well as business models. This includes finding drivers from both forestry/pulp producers as well as refineries. In addition to this, there is a political dimension that is very important not to neglect: How to promote and manage incentives such as tax reductions. RenFuel has also spinned-off RenCom, a company producing thermoplastics.
