Neste Oil and Stora Enso agreed on 16 March to develop a technology producing biofuels from wood residues and invest €14m ($18.4m) in a pilot plant, according to ICIS news.

Stora Enso, an integrated paper, packaging, and forest products company, will supply wood biomass while Neste Oil will market the biofuels. The process will involve using the Fischer-Tropsch process to convert syngas to fuel.
I wonder if they're talking to the chaps at Purdue University who are into hydrogenating biomass to fuel about optimising the process...
