Chemical energy carriers have a high energy density and are particularly attractive for the mobility sector. In countries with a large forestry sector, such as Finland or Sweden, there is a high potential for the production of SNG from waste wood. Biogas facilities produce renewable gas mainly by fermenting biological waste.
