King of Biofuel?

Ever heard about Chemrec? I had heard about them but never really realised what they were doing until today. Today I visited the stand of Chemrec at the World Bioenergy 2012. The exhibition was a bit slow on the afternoon of the last day, and maybe this was the reason that nobody was around at the Chemrec stand to answer all of my questions.

Basically Chemrec is using Haldor Topsøe technology in converting black liquor to BioDME and Biomethanol in the far north of Sweden. I took this illustration from their brochure. It looks nice, I'm going to see if the graphics are more than just good marketing. How much black liquor do you actually get from one hectare?


Some of the questions that I would have liked to ask are: how much black liquor is there actually around? Do you need any modifications to trucks and infrastructure in order to run on DME?
