Use of renewable fuels from living organisms in Sweden

Biofuels are renewable fuels[1] that are produced by living organisms (biomass[1]). Biofuels[2] can be solid, gaseous or liquid, which comes in two forms: ethanol and biodiesel and often replace fossil fuels. Many countries now use biofuels[2] as energy sources, including Sweden. Sweden has one of the highest usages of biofuel in all of Europe, at 32%, primarily due to the widespread commitment to E85, bioheating and bioelectricity.
Sweden's energy usage is divided into three sectors: housing and services, industry, and transport and is used in three different ways: to produce heating, electricity and vehicle fuels.[3] In 2014 Sweden has used 555 TWh of energy, 130 of which came from biofuels.[4]
Increased biofuel usage is the main reason why Sweden has managed to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 25% between 1990 and 2014.[5]
