Lignofuels 2020
Lignofuels Series is Back to Helsinki!
Earlier this year The Finnish Parliament has approved a law that is set to see biofuels targets gradually increase for 2030. The new law has made for a world-leading advanced biofuels target of 10% in 2030.
Finnish parliament’s approval of the law will increase the share of biofuels used in road traffic to 30% by 2029. The government has also approved a law that will allow for the distribution of bio-based light fuel oil. A share of all light fuel oil used that is intended for heating, construction machines and fitted motors, will be replaced by bio-based fuel oil starting from 2021. [Emma Greedy, Biofuels International]
This is why following the success of last year’s conference in Oslo which gathered over 150 senior level attendees and further highlighted the leading role of Scandinavian advanced biofuels industry within the EU/EEA, we are excited to be bringing Lignofuels series back to Helsinki.
Already on its 10th annual edition, this Lignofuels 2020 taking place on 26th & 27th February will bring together key lignofuels and advanced biofuels & materials stakeholders to join our forum discussions and hear latest industry case studies, inlcuding Technical, Strategic and Business Development Executives from First and Advanced Generation Biofuels Producers, Oil Refiners, Process Technology Providers, Enzyme Developers, Engineering Firms and Agribusiness as well as Financiers, Investors, Policy & Regulators, Automotive & Aviation Industries, Consultants, Traders & Brokers and Chemical Companies.
Join us in Helsinki for two days of exchanging perspectives, learning and excellent networking opportunities with your peers. You will benefit from numerous interactive sessions, presentations, including case studies, and insightful panel discussions to get the best out of the event.

Aikona Ltd. deals with development of a biofuels technology based on the European patent No. EP2129746 (”DNS“). The DNS is set for its market launch in 2020.
DNS represents the outcome of manufacturing process to gain aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons through catalytic deoxidisation of natural substances.
This is a unique chemical-physical principle for manufacturing of biofuels and the quality of final DNS product is very high.
The reaction is triggered off with a powerful electromagnetic and infra-red radiation aimed at the homogenised solution with the input raw material and the oxidising agent.
GREEN + SAFE & SIMPLE + EFFICIENT = DNS
- DNS is Highly economical fuel in terms of GHG
- DNS is Safe and Simple production technology
- DNS is Effective production principle and this method also generates production cost savings when compared to the traditional bio-components
HYDROTREATMENT
- DNS and hydrotreatment within refinery facilities
When implemented within the hydrogenation process in refineries, the DNS brings a positive effect on H consumption when compared to hydrogenation of the standard refinery raw material.
