SCA is now one of Europe’s largest producers of forest-based bioenergy, with a total production of about 11.9 TWh per year. In Sweden, SCA has three pellets factories and we leases out forest land for wind power production. SCA also develops products for the next-generation of biofuels and green chemicals.
Sawdust from SCA's sawmills is made into pellets, which are sold to households and to major energy producers, and also used as fuel in SCA's own industry. Wood pellets are environmentally friendly, renewable energy produced by sawdust and cutter. When the chip is dried and pressed into pellets, a fuel with high energy value and even moisture content is obtained. Wood pellets can be burned in both chimneys, wood burners and large heaters.
