Preem will use the oil as a raw material for production tests and through production testing, Preem will determine how suitable the oil is for the production of different biofuels.
These tests will take place at Preem’s refinery in Lysekil, which has already been granted a permit to conduct production tests of pyrolysis oil.
This oil will be produced at Enviro’s plant in Åsensbruk where Enviro extracts, for example, oil from end-of-life tyres (ELT) using its proprietary and patented recycling technology.
Recovered pyrolysis oil contains a high percentage of renewable material due to the high amounts of natural rubber found in vehicle tyres, and thus is very suitable for producing environmentally sustainable biofuel.
Growth in interest
In early February 2023, Enviro received a follow-up order for pyrolysis oil from the subsidiary of a leading US oil company, valued at approximately SEK 4.8 million, and followed the successful production tests that the US company made of Enviro’s oil.
In the past year, we have seen clear growth in interest for our recovered pyrolysis oil driven by the increased interest in more environmentally sustainable alternatives and soaring energy prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We can also see a trend where customers require larger volumes with deliveries over longer periods, said Thomas Sörensson, CEO of Enviro.
Enviro’s pyrolysis oil has been certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) EU standard and has received Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) approval.
