Fossilfritt flyg i norra Sverige

Fossil-free aviation in northern Sweden

The project Fossil-free aviation in northern Sweden is part of the work when it comes to gathering more knowledge in how aviation can be converted to fossil-free fuels. One goal of the project is to both identify and clarify the measures required to achieve the national objectives of developing a fossil-free aircraft.

In order for aviation to be able to switch to fossil-free fuels, more knowledge is needed about how it should be implemented. The project Fossil-free flight in northern Sweden is part of this regionally, nationally and internationally important work.

The project is a feasibility study. The overall goals are to analyze and evaluate the conditions for the conversion to fossil-free aviation in a follow-up project. 

Activities to achieve the goals

To achieve the goals of the project, a number of different activities have been developed:

  • Develop a compilation of knowledge about the conditions for biofuel, electricity and hydrogen at and at airports.
  • Identify conditions for realizing value chains from sustainable raw materials to aviation via electricity, hydrogen and biofuels in northern Sweden, and develop proposals for activities to remove obstacles.
  • Identify the need for ground-based measures next to and at airports to achieve fossil-free flights, based on various fossil-free alternatives.
  • Develop methods to strengthen the demand for biofuels for aviation.
  • Prepare an action plan for the introduction of a regional electric aviation network, based on a case study on an electric airline between Umeå and Östersund.
  • Make available and disseminate the project's conclusions and insights for benefit throughout the country.
  • Develop a comprehensive regional roadmap for a fossil-free domestic flight.

RISE part in the project 

It is RISE Processum in Örnsköldsvik that leads and participates in activities that result in an in-depth mapping of the actors that are relevant for realizing a large-scale production of SAF, with a focus on production in northern Sweden, and a description of existing or possible future business models - from the actors' perspective. This includes a description of the technical conditions in all necessary parts of the value chain, for different alternatives / technology tracks of supply of SAF and a mapping of ongoing activities, relevant to northern Sweden, for development and implementation of the various technology tracks.
