Avinor agrees to buy nearly $1 million in BtL aviation fuel to get Quantafuel commercial

In Norway, Avinor has entered into an agreement with Quantafuel to buy sustainable aviation fuel based on Norwegian biomass. The fuel will be produced in a pilot plant partly funded by ENOVA while in order to fund the development, Avinor has committed purchase fuel for just under $1 million. Quantafuel AS has developed technology for the production of liquid fuel from biomass; BtL (Biomass-to-Liquid). The raw material used in production is solid wood in the shape of chips, sawdust and other wood qualities. The pilot plant that now will be designed and built, will be centrally located in eastern Norway. This is in keeping with Quantafuel’s strategy of taking a position with proprietary technology, strong partners such as Avinor, and in markets where the company can make a positive contribution to the environment.
