Silva Green Fuel AS is a Norwegian company focused on developing and demonstrating production of advanced biofuels from forest-based biomass. Formed as a joint venture between Statkraft and Södra, the company targets the conversion of lignocellulosic residues into sustainable transport fuels.
At its demonstration facility in Tofte, Norway, Silva Green Fuel employs hydrothermal liquefaction to convert woody biomass into a biocrude that can be upgraded in conventional refineries to produce drop‑in fuels. The company’s work centers on process development, scale‑up, and sustainability verification, with an emphasis on integrating Nordic forestry residues into the biofuels value chain and reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from transport.
Demo facility and HTL expertise transferred to a new company run by former employees; CEO named and investors invited to scale toward commercial plants; deal pending regulatory approval.
Statkraft shifts focus to core technologies, transferring biofuel expertise to a new company led by former employees, aiming to commercialize HTL technology for emissions reduction.
