The biofuels market in Sweden has strong potential for growth among other sources in the renewable energy space. Government initiatives and the large demand for green fuel have attracted investments in the sector. The inability of domestic supply to meet demand coupled with the targets set for efficiency in the transportation sector is expected to boost the market.
The report begins with an introduction of the biofuels market in the European Union indicating the current consumption and import-export levels, biofuel usage in transportation and major developments in this industry through various policies. An overview of the bioenergy market in Sweden has been provided followed by the biofuels market. Details regarding the major biofuels used namely, ethanol, biodiesel and biogas have been proffered including data regarding total production levels and the availability of raw materials.
An analysis of drivers explains factors contributing to the huge potential based on various cost incentives, fluctuations in crude oil prices, support for green car owners, high growth in ethanol vehicles and the market being dominated by imports. The key challenges identified include resistance from the Swedish forestry industry, food vs. fuel issue and hurdles with biogas supply.
The major government programmes and investments towards the development of the industry have been discussed including the climate and energy policy, Biogas Vast project, research and development projects as well as other policies towards developing the industry.

This study provides an overview of the development and environmental effects of protein crop production in Europe. Nine policy options for supporting protein crops are presented: six inside the CAP, and three outside. We recommend an integrated policy approach combining the inclusion of protein crops into greening measures, investment in research and constraints on the use of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. We conclude that increasing the production of protein crops would be an important contribution to the sustainable development of European agricultural and
food systems.

Presented at ACCU Conference (11th April 2014)
"When it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change" observed Lucius Cary, four centuries ago. He could well have been talking about program state (had such a concept existed). We have it by the bucket — by the megabucket, gigabucket and terabucket — and most code, designs and programming languages assume that program state is something that is changeable. But should it? Is this assumption always valid? Is state change as necessary as its widespread use might suggest?
Immutability is a cornerstone of pure functional programming, and is often seen to be exclusively associated with it, but immutability and other restrictions on state mutability are more widely applicable, and certainly not the sole preserve of functional languages. It is a necessary practice in languages with reference-based semantics and in concurrent environments, for example. Without it, code becomes difficult to reason about (oh...) or chock full of locks and deadlocks (ah...). This loss of simplicity may seem familiar.
This talk looks at the consequences, benefits and implications of programming in an immutable or less mutable style, including techniques both large and small that can be applied in mainstream languages and existing systems.

Roman Zenon Dawidowicz | Biodiesel Supply and Price Trend in GlobalRoman Zenon Dawidowicz
As of mid-2015,164 countries around the world have adopted at least one type of renewable energy target, up almost four-fold from 43 countries in 2005.
As gloomy as it may appear now with Gasoil below $600/mt, the biofuels story is far from dead as mandates are still increasing globally in Brazil, Argentina, Korea and perhaps Indonesia.

Agcapita is Canada's only RRSP and TFSA eligible farmland fund and is part of a family of funds with almost $100 million in assets under management. Agcapita believes farmland is a safe investment, that supply is shrinking and that unprecedented demand for "food, feed and fuel" will continue to move crop prices higher over the long-term. Agcapita created the Farmland Investment Partnership to allow investors to add professionally managed farmland to their portfolios. Agcapita publishes a monthly Agriculture Brief which deals with agriculture specific investment issues along with big picture macro-economic issues.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

11. A large resource base will develop the biofuels market
however resistance from the forest industry is expected
Large Forests Providing Raw Materials for Biofuels
• 87% of Finland is forest cover and provides for a strong resource for the development of
biofuels Available resources
• Finland has extensive biomass resources and are extremely important for energy generation provide major
since the country has no indigenous reserves of fossil fuels growth opportunity
• These resources include abundant forest residues, fuel wood, and peat
• Tapping in to this large resource will allow the country to generate all types of biofuels
originating directly or indirectly from woody biomass
i i ti di tl i di tl f d bi
• Wood‐based biofuels accounts for 20% of the country’s primary energy consumption
Usage of Forest Land to Develop Energy Crops
• In order to generate biofuels, agricultural land is often diverted from the production of food
crops to the production of energy crops Food vs. fuel
argument is
• This is a point of contention as more extensive cultivation of energy crops on arable land may deterring growth of
lead to a drop in food production the biofuels market
• Furthermore, the forest industry may experience difficult in obtaining forest raw material
• This issue can be addressed by developing more efficient second‐generation biofuels

• The government has forwarded that they will provide up to 40% subsidies to new investments emission targets
in this sector
• The tax structure also encourages the usage of biofuels
Biogas sed as motor f el is e empt from e cise d t
Biogas used as motor fuel is exempt from excise duty
• These targets will lead to growth in the biofuels market due to high taxes levied on other
conventional fuels

the number of green car owners in these specific regions Lead to a rise in
biofuel cars
biofuel cars
• Helsinki is planning to offer incentives to drivers who exchange their old high‐emission vehicles purchased and
for new ones which pollute less manufactured
• Drivers of more eco‐friendly cars will be offered a parking benefit allowing them to park in
central Helsinki for a low annual fee
Under the plan an initial payment of USD 44 6/yr is required for the permit which will release the owner
Under the plan, an initial payment of USD 44.6/yr is required for the permit which will release the owner
from other parking expenditures
It is expected to come into effect in 2011
• Issues regarding acceptability of the policy is expected
The choices of green vehicles is extremely limited and is expected to act as a deterrent
Furthermore, in the current scenario, cars with old technology are cheaper than those with new and more
efficient technology. The prices of these eco‐friendly cars is expected to reduce in the future
Another issue is that these incentives are based on certain emission criteria rather than a specific technology
• Pan‐Finland implementation of this will lead to major energy savings

• It requires distributors of transport fuels to supply a minimum volume of biofuels annually develop the market
• This obligation applies to the total amount of biofuels thus giving distributors the flexibility to in the future
replace petrol or diesel oil in a ratio they choose within the limits of the quality standards
• The law does not regulate the origin of the biofuel
This allows the distributors to subcontract their obligation wholly or partially to another company
• Distributors are individually accountable to the Government. In the event that they are unable
to fulfill the obligation, the customs authorities are liable to impose a penalty fee
• The law also states the targets to be met with respect biofuel consumption which will be

The strategy includes climate and energy policy measures for 2020 extended up to 2050
• The targets to be achieved by 2020 are based on the EU Directives
• 38% of total energy consumption will be via renewable energy
• Biofuels will account for 10% of total fuel consumption in the transport sector
Targets
T t • In addition, by 2020, the EU is to achieve the goal of improving energy efficiency by 20%
I dditi b 2020 th EU i t hi th l fi i ffi i b 20%
• Reducing its overall emissions of green house gases to at least 20% below 1990 levels
Biofuels will play a major role as 20% of national emissions is accounted for by the transportation sector
• Presently, the actual emissions have exceeded the Kyoto commitment and the trend of emissions is on the
increase
i
• In 2007, the share of renewable energy in the gross final energy consumption was approximately 25% (360 PJ)
Current Scenario • Without new energy policy measures, the final consumption of renewable energy would increase to 380 PJ,
which would be approximately only 31% of the final energy consumption. In addition, green house gas emissions
would exceed the 1990 levels by 30%
• Government’s plans towards meeting EU target of 38% by 2020 with the largest contribution from biofuels
Governments Requires renewable energy generation to rise up to 30TWh
– Biomass 16TWh, Wind energy 6TWh, Heat pumps 2,5 TWh, Waste‐to‐energy and energy efficiency 5TWh and Biogas 0,5TWh
