Forchem’s greenovation – Fortop600
A liquid biofuel Fortop600 was selected as a case product for the assessment. Fortop600 replaces heavy fuel oil in customers’ processes. Replacement of heavy fuel oil by Fortop 600 in customer processes enables annual emission savings which are 125 fold compared with emissions due to production of Fortop 600 from tall oil!
The annual emission reduction, 194 000 tons of carbon dioxide, is nationally remarkable in Finland. For example, it corresponds to two thirds of annual carbon dioxide emissions from domestic flights. The amount of the emission reduction is calculated with the emission factors for burning of fuels which are utilized by the customers under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
