Bioenergy for the Fossil-Free Energy System

Bioenergy for the Fossil-Free Energy System is a project-grant call run by Energimyndigheten (the Swedish Energy Agency), a national government agency. It sits under the agency's Bio+ research and innovation program (Swedish: "Bioenergi för framtidens fossilfria energisystem"). The grant pays for work that increases knowledge about, or develops, bio-based solutions and value chains that strengthen the function and robustness of a fossil-free energy system. The call has a combined budget of about 80 million SEK ("Cirka 80 miljoner kronor") shared across all funded projects; the source does not state a per-project minimum or maximum, so the size of each award is not published. The grant is non-dilutive — the agency takes no equity. It funds three kinds of work: research and development projects, competence-building projects, and innovation clusters. For the most recent round, the agency decides which projects are funded in March 2026, and a funded project can start no earlier than 1 April 2026. The call is open to companies (legal persons), public-sector bodies, universities (across social science, humanities, technical and natural science disciplines), research institutes, and other actors connected to bioenergy research and the shift to bio-based feedstock. A for-profit company can apply directly; it does not have to go through a university partner. Applications are submitted through Energimyndigheten's "Mina sidor" (My Pages) e-service. The most recent application deadline was 12 November 2025 at 23:59 (Swedish time); that round has closed and a new call is expected under the recurring Bio+ program. The full call text is published as a separate PDF ("Fullständig utlysningstext") that holds the detailed rules, eligible-cost rules and scoring criteria. The page does not publish per-project award amounts, a numeric scoring rubric, a funding rate, or a direct application URL, so applicants should read the full call-text PDF and check the agency site for the next round's exact dates and any state-aid limits that apply to companies.
