Clean Power from the Finnish Forests

The UPM BioVerno renewable diesel project reached a significant goal when the product was launched onto the market at the beginning of May 2015. Finnish energy company St1 has been selling UPM BioVerno as part of their Diesel plus fuel at its filling stations in Finland for almost a year now.

St1 confirms that an important share of its diesel customers use Diesel plus containing UPM BioVerno on a daily basis as there are over 100,000 Diesel plus refills in a day.

“For consumers this is a clear case as Diesel plus with UPM BioVerno is compatible with all diesel engines, just like traditional diesel. In addition, it is seamlessly compatible with the existing distribution infrastructure,” says Matti Pentti, Director, Commercial and Consumer sales at St1.

UPM BioVerno is delivered from Lappeenranta to the St1 blending terminal located in Hamina. It is then blended there with Diesel plus and delivered to St1 service stations across the country.

Forest2Market Report Shows Increased Demand for Wood Fiber Leads to Forest Growth

As the debate about the carbon benefits of generating electricity in Europe from wood pellets manufactured in the southern United States continues, a new Forest2Market report shows that growth in demand for forest products (e.g., lumber, paper, packaging and wood pellets) has led to greater forest productivity and a significant increase in the amount of forest inventory available for storing carbon. The report, Historical Perspective on the Relationship between Demand and Forest Productivity in the US South, analyzes US Forest Service data and other scientific research to understand the relationship between changes in demand and supply from 1953 to 2015.

AF&PA Welcomes New EPA Policy on Carbon Neutral Forest Biomass

“We applaud the Administration for reflecting long-standing scientific principles and Congressional direction in recognizing as carbon neutral the paper and wood products industry’s use of renewable biomass for energy production. We are one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the nation, eager to strengthen the economy and boost U.S. job creation with the support of public policy that levels the playing field with competitors around the globe. This new EPA policy is an important milestone in implementing the Congressional directive to produce clear and simple policies and acknowledges the scientific record on the carbon neutrality of forest-based, renewable biomass. We look forward to working with EPA as it develops regulations to fully implement this policy.”
