Liquid Biofuels
SCA wishes to grow in renewable energy and to offer more products that contribute to the sustainable development of society. Through efficient forest operations, industrial tradition and innovative development, the best possible conditions exist to create the biofuel of the future.
Biofuels are an important part of a circular society
Fuels based on sustainable raw materials play an important role in the climate transition. SCA wants to contribute in this product segment as well and, together with St1, has a biorefinery in Gothenburg and a project preparing for a potential biorefinery at the Östrand pulp mill.
A large number of countries have requirements for blending biofuels in vehicle and aviation fuel, and the demand is expected to exceed supply for the foreseeable future.
Gothenburg Biorefinery
In April 2024, the Gothenburg Biorefinery was inaugurated, a biorefinery co-owned by SCA and St1. The partnership and production at the facility also mean that SCA's pulp mills will be able to supply tall oil, a by-product of pulp production, for further processing into biofuels at the new factory.
