We are building a new industry
Biozin plans to establish Norway’s first full-scale production facility for advanced biofuels based on forest residues, low-quality logs, and sawmill by-products.
Tomorrow’s oil comes from the forest
Biofuel can be a novel Norwegian industrial venture. Norway’s forests contain an abundant, sustainable growth surplus, and we have professional competence from the wood processing and petroleum industries.
With a vast and predictable market expanding domestically and in the EU, Norway has every opportunity to establish a novel, future-oriented, green industry. Biozin intends to be a significant player in this field.
The green transition in Norway
Norway already has regulation requirements for biofuel sales intended for the transportation sector. Those who sell fuel must ensure that the blending requirements for biofuels are met.
A subsequent requirement is that a defined percentage of all fuels sold must be advanced biofuel. Advanced biofuels are mainly produced from residues and waste from the food industry, agriculture, or forestry and come from raw materials that cannot be used as food or animal feed. Advanced biofuel is double-counted in regulation requirement accounts, which means that one litre of advanced biofuel equals two litres of conventional biofuel.
Utilising new technology, Biozin will use residues from the forestry and wood processing industries to manufacture renewable and sustainable advanced biofuel. Biozin’s production will be based on sustainable raw materials, and all resulting products will comply with requirements set in Norway and the EU.
Project: Amli

Site preparation for Biozin plot completed
Preparations for Biozin’s plot in Amli were successfully completed in October.
Lease agreement with Jordøya Tomteutvikling signed
The lease agreement with Jordøya Tomteutvikling AS was signed today. At the same time, JTU and Hæhre Entreprenører signed the agreement to develop the plot. This work will start next week and be completed by the end of 2023.
Hæhre Entreprenør to develop the Biozin plot
Hæhre Entreprenør has been awarded the contract to develop the plot on Jordøya for Jordøya Tomteutvikling AS. Hæhre Entreprenør, one of Norway’s largest construction contractors with nearly 50 years of industry experience, will commence the work in October.
Bid request for the development of Biozin’s land announced
Jordøya Tomteutvikling AS, who leases industrial site land to Biozin, has announced a tender competition for the development of the area to contain our new production facility. The site’s land area is 160.000 m2.
Agder municipality to finance FV415 upgrade
Road upgrades for FV415 from Simonstad to Hovdefjell will be financed by Agder municipality. The upgrades will facilitate the necessary infrastructure for Biozin’s new production facility in Amli.
