Partners	SCA and St1 have entered a joint venture to produce and sell liquid biofuels. SCA will supply tall oil to the joint venture and will invest approximately SEK 0.6 billion in the company. SCA and St1 will be equal shareholders of the joint venture, which will itself have a 50% share in the St1 Gothenburg Biorefinery.
Additional Information	Energy company St1 has made an investment decision to construct a new biorefinery at its refinery in Gothenburg in Sweden. The design allows flexibility to process a wide range of feedstocks meeting current and future specifications for renewable fuels to be produced such as HVO diesel, jet fuel and naphtha. The new biorefinery is expected to start production in 2023. The produced renewable fuels will significantly reduce the CO2-emissions compared to fossil fuels. The new biorefinery is under construction on the St1 refinery site in Gothenburg and will have a total capacity of 200,000 tonnes of liquid biofuels. It is designed to optimize production of renewable HVO diesel and biojet fuel and to use tall oil-based feedstock. The joint venture will have access to SCA’s tall oil, a by-product from the kraft pulp production at SCA’s mills in Östrand, Obbola and Munksund. The biorefinery will also be capable of using a wide range of other feedstocks and is expected to be operational in Q2 2023.
