It will also give Swedish industry a boost internationally by kick-starting a large biogas technology sector, said the energy ministry: "We see it as a business opportunity as well." Although the focus is on biogas as a transport fuel, Sweden plans on other biogas uses, e.g., a potentially cheap source of energy for industry. May 2010 is the deadline for determining what legislation is required to implement the policy. "The ambition is that as soon as we have the strategy in place we should start working with it," said the ministry. The agriculture ministry has already funded pilot projects to produce biogas from animal waste.
