That the fossil oil is not replaced is due to problems with storage and purchasing.
“To imagine such a fuel for a reserve power plant, where months can pass between starts, falls on its own absurdity,” says CEO Henrik Svensson to P4 Blekinge.
Emissions from bio-oil are at least as large as from fossil oil, but bio-oil adds no new carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
A similar fuel change has been carried out at Värtaverket in Stockholm.
