So far 17 different projects, sharing 52 million SEK (about 5 MEUR), have been supported through this Governmental initiative.
The feedstocks involved are mainly forestry residues, coming from Sweden. The conversion processes differ between projects.

In March 2019 another Governmental Inquiry Report on how to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuels was presented. The main proposal in the Inquiry is the introduction of a greenhouse gas emissions reduction obligation for jet fuel used to fuel aircraft in Sweden, covering both domestic and international flights. According to the proposal, the reduction level will increase from the equivalent of approximately 1 volume per cent in 2021 to the equivalent of approximately 30 volume per cent in 2030.
The Inquiry proposes no reduction levels for the years after 2030 but considers that the target should be 100 per cent renewable fuels with low lifecycle emissions by 2045. The Inquiry also proposes that The Swedish Energy Agency should be tasked with analysing whether investment or operating aid should be developed for production facilities with new technology that is too costly to be able to compete with the greenhouse gas emissions reduction obligation ('the reduction obligation') already in place for fuel for road transportation.
No decisions have yet been made by the Swedish Government regarding the different proposals presented in this inquiry.
