Abstract
In the year 2008, Business Region Goteborg, a collection of 13-member municipalities, was awarded the “Blue Sky Innovation Award” for encouraging the use of biomethane as a sustainable transportation fuel. Goteborg, in particular, and Sweden, in general, had viewed the increased use of biogas as key to creating a more sustainable society and as a step toward a fossil-fuel-free future.
Gasification is not a very complicated technology, as long as you can get the fuel in and the ash out!

… a particularly innovative project and it does not create a significant distortion of competition and trade between member states.
