Pyrocell Receives Sustainability Certification

Pyrocell's pyrolysis oil production has received sustainability certification in accordance with the international environmental certification system International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC).

The fact that the pyrolysis oil is now ISCC certified means that it can be sold on export markets outside of Sweden.


"It feels great that we have certified our production and product in accordance with ISCC," said Pyrocell's Chairman of the Board Pontus Friberg. "This is proof that our pyrolysis oil meets high standards for sustainability and traceability throughout the entire supply chain."

Pyrocell is jointly owned by Setra and Preem. The company's business concept is to produce bio-oil from sawdust. Setra has the raw material, the sawdust, while Preem has refineries. The pyrolysis oil is refined into renewable diesel and gasoline at Preem's refinery in Lysekil. Pyrocell's facility is located at the Setra Kastet sawmill in Gävle.
