SCA's renewable and sustainable products help others transition to fossil-free energy. Our extensive range of renewable solid biofuels can be tailored to meet customer needs.
We supply a wide variety of renewable fuel products, including slash, stemwood chips, roadside clippings, bark, wood chips, sawdust, wood shavings, and pellets. Our fuels can be customized to meet specific customer requirements in terms of quality, particle size, and moisture content.
Chip and bulk truck
Fuels from forestry, by-products from sawmills, and pellets are most often delivered by chip truck or bulk truck.
Train
From several of our terminals, fuel deliveries from forestry and sawmills can be made by train.
Ship
Larger deliveries, such as pellets, can be loaded onto ships in Luleå, Härnösand, Sundsvall, Karlskoga, and Sokna.
Get in touch with our business market team for the purchase and sale of biofuels and pellets for industries and companies. As one of Europe’s largest producers of forest-based bioenergy, we can offer long-term and flexible deliveries.
We look forward to hearing from you!
After logging, branches and tops are often left behind. By utilizing branches, roadside clippings, and stem wood, we can deliver forest fuels to both larger and smaller boilers. When biofuels from forestry replace fossil fuels, the impact on the climate is reduced.
When the timber is sawn, we utilize the by-products sawdust, wood shavings, bark and dry chips. Bark and dry chips are delivered unprocessed, while sawdust and wood shavings are processed into pellets.
SCA offers pellets from its own production in Härnösand, Stugun, Tunadal, and Rundvik, co-owned production in Luleå, as well as Moelven's facilities in Sokna and Karlskoga. Together, the facilities have a production capacity of 500,000 tons of pellets.
SCA engages in forestry to produce sawlogs. What cannot become timber products is turned into paper, pulp, or bioenergy in a highly efficient system where the entire tree is utilized.
Branches and tops, already collected in the forest, become chips and loose biomass. The bark is used for energy at the sawmill and by our customers.
The sawlog becomes long-lasting timber products, the chips become pulp, and the sawdust, a by-product from the sawmill, goes to pellet production.
Our own production and logistics ensure long-term and reliable deliveries. The raw materials are carefully controlled - we oversee the entire chain from forest to customer.
SCA’s solid biofuels are used for energy production, electricity, and heating - mainly in the Swedish market. The customers are large combined heat and power plants, local heating plants, large and small heating facilities, municipalities, multi-family houses and detached houses.
In Härnösand, Timrå, and Sundsvall, surplus heat from the pellet industry and mills is also utilized in the municipalities’ district heating networks.
Residual product: No forest is logged solely for energy production. For fuel, we utilize residues from forestry and the forest industry. Solid biofule is a way to make use of the entire tree.
Biofuels: Solid biofuels are renewable energy produced from biomass, such as plants and plant parts.
Renewable: Biofuel and bioenergy are constantly renewed, unlike fossil fuels such as oil and coal.
A world-class whisky is being produced in an impressive building by the mighty Ångerman river in northern Sweden. Large amounts of energy are required to produce whisky but at this particular distillery, energy is produced from pellets supplied by SCA.
Sawdust, a residual product from SCA’s sawmill, powers BEWI’s steam boiler. A fossil-free and efficient solution that provides both process heat and heating for the facilities. Read more about how BEWI harnesses energy, recycles waste, and produces insulation material made of 98% air.
In Ljustorp, Medelpad, Eva and Jorge grow around 14 tons of unsprayed tomatoes each season. They use biological pest control, and the plants are cultivated with the help of renewable energy – pellet heating.
Bogrundet's nursery in Timrå is the world's largest forest nursery. SCA grows approx. 95 million seedlings every year at Bogrundet. A climate-friendly and good technical solution now supplies 14 greenhouses with pellet heating and 430 cubic meters of oil are replaced annually.
