Join us in building the future of Renewable Energy

Do you want to contribute to a sustainable future powered by forests and wind? Here, you’ll help turn forest residues into energy and be part of our investment in wind power on our own land. With us, you’ll be challenged as we deliver the renewable energy of the future.

About us

SCA Renewable Energy operates within bioenergy, wind power, as well as biofuels and e-fuels.

Today, around 65 employees work within our Renewable Energy business area. Our head office is in Sundsvall, but our operations span across northern Sweden.

SCA Renewable Energy is on an exciting growth journey, with several major investment projects planned for the coming years.

We are a small, high-performing team characterized by a positive atmosphere and a down-to-earth, collaborative way of working.

Our operations areas

SCA Renewable Energy consists of three operation areas.

Wind power

As Europe's largest private forest owner, SCA has large areas of land with good wind conditions. For many years, we have leased forest land for wind power production and today about 20% of Sweden's wind power is on SCA's land. In our new strategy, we are now shifting up to produce renewable energy ourselves, based on our own land holdings. Through project development, repowering and acquisitions, we will increase our renewable electricity production.

Bioenergy

By utilizing residues and by-products from the forest, SCA has grown to become one of Europe's leading producers of sustainable bioenergy. Our products are both unprocessed fuels from forests and industry, and processed fuels in the form of pellets. Our pellets are produced at several facilities in Sweden, and through collaborations we manage the sale of additional pellet volumes.

Renewable biofuels

Within SCA Renewable Energy, we develop products within next-generation fuels and green chemicals. In 2021, SCA decided to invest in a new biorefinery for biofuel production in Gothenburg together with Finnish St1. Preparations are also underway for a larger investment in biofuel production in connection with the Östrand pulp mill.
