Continuation f3 - towards application for call LC-SC3-JA-2-2018-2019

Important results from the project

An application for an EU-Project, with RISE as coordinating partner, aiming at supporting the implementation of the SET-plan within the area of Bioenergy and Renewable Fuels for Transport has been submitted.

Expected long term effects

The EU application concerns a project that will support all EU actors in the implementation of the SET-plan within bioenergy and renewable transportation fuels. Thus, the result may contribute to the vital supply of fossil free energy to sustainable energy and transportation sectors. Within this project a consortium, called SET4BIO, with participants from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Spain and Italy, was developed and the approach was anchored broadly with a range of actors. As a result, the chance of a positive outcome of the application should have increased substantially.
