The first ground was broken for Pyrocell’s plant at Setra’s Kastet sawmill in Gävle, Sweden. Pyrocell will be manufacturing non-fossil pyrolysis oil as a raw material for producing renewable fuel. Wood industry company Setra and fuel company Preem are working together to produce fossil-free pyrolysis oil from sawdust through the jointly-owned company Pyrocell. Pyrocell’s plant will transform sawdust, a waste product in Setra’s industrial process, into pyrolysis oil. The pyrolysis oil will be processed further to make renewable diesel and petrol at Preem’s refinery in Lysekil. “This investment is part of Setra’s strategy to increase the value and the climate benefit of our products. Pyrocell is an important link in the value chain for renewable fuel. This commercial processing of sawdust will help us contribute to the goal of fossil-free transport in Sweden by 2030,” says Katarina Levin, CEO of Setra.
