Additional info
UPM BioVerno fuels are advanced biofuels. Their production does not compete with the production of food in land-use or raw materials. Unlike first generation biofuels, UPM BioVerno fuels have no blending limit and distributors are able to use it at 100%. As the raw material for UPM BioVerno naphtha is a residue, its production does not cause additional felling of trees. Wood-based UPM BioVerno naphtha is a chemically pure hydrocarbon that can be used as a biocomponent in fossil gasoline. It enables a higher biofuel content than using ethanol only. UPM BioVerno reduces both CO2 and tailpipe emissions and has been tested in engine and vehicle tests on numerous makes and models in several acclaimed Finnish and international research facilities. It can also be used as a raw material for making bioplastics.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Tractors and vehicles fuel consumption
- Tools and equipment fuel consumption
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
