The Swedish Centre for Biomass Gasification (SFC) is a Centre of Excellence, created to coordinate and support established Swedish research in the area of biomass gasification SFC is therefore an important national actor for developing new knowledge needed to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and for reducing our net emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The research program, which started in the year 2011, is a 10-year program with a total budget of 540 million SEK (approximately 54 million Euros).
The Centre consists of three independent research nodes that focus on technologies relevant to industrial interests, namely indirect fluidized bed gasification, entrained flow gasification, direct fluidized bed gasification and gas cleaning and conditioning.
In addition to scientific and technical research, SFC also educates engineers and researchers in the area of gasification to provide competence to the industry.
