Joint biodiesel project of Metsäliitto and Vapo to be possibly located in Ajos in Kemi, Finland
The advantages of the plant concept under review are that it can be duplicated and that it is independent of the regional industrial production. The review found Ajos in Kemi to be a suitable location based on its logistical advantages and from the perspective of the raw material and end products.
The biodiesel project of Metsäliitto and Vapo laid out in the feasibility study is one of three projects submitted by the Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy to the European Commission to apply for NER300 funding from the EU. The Forest BtL project, owned by Vapo and Metsäliitto, is responsible for the project preparations.
