Finnish biorefining company Green Fuel Nordic has received considerable financial backing for its new plant in Eastern Finland.

The 24 million-euro capital boost is made up of a loan for 10 million euros arranged by Osuuspankki, together with the European Investment Bank and Finnvera; a grant of seven million euros from the ELY Centre for Southern Savonia; and a seven million-euro investment from three private investors in Eastern Finland.

According to <a href="https://www.investinfinland.fi/-/strong-trust-on-bioeconomy-secured-the-financing-package-in-finland" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Invest in Finland</a>, the construction of <a href="http://www.greenfuelnordic.fi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Green Fuel Nordic</a>’s new biomass plant will now proceed as planned in the town of Lieksa.

The plant will produce second-generation bio-oil from local, renewable and forest-based biomass. This can be used to fuel industrial and municipal electricity and heat production, replacing light and heavy fuel oil.

“The confidence shown by Finnish investors in the Lieksa biorefinery project is also an important signal for foreign investors interested in the opportunities created by Finland’s growing bioeconomy, including the construction of more biorefineries in the future,” says Invest in Finland senior advisor Helvi Väisänen.
