Preem boosts renewable diesel production 40%

In Sweden, following a redevelopment of Preem’s Green Hydro Treater (GHT) plant in Gothenburg, the plant’s production capacity of renewable diesel is increased by 40 percent. And for the first time, the GHT plant is able to produce 100 percent renewable products.

Focus on renewable fuels is a cornerstone of Preem’s business strategy and the redevelopment is another step toward the company’s goal of producing 5 million cubic meters of renewable fuels by 2030.

The refinery in Gothenburg can now handle 100 percent renewable raw materials. It sources a variety of sustainable renewable raw materials, including raw tall oil diesel from SunPine, residues from the food industry and recycled frying oil.
