In November last year, Preem placed an order with Scandinavian Enviro Systems for recovered pyrolysis oil for use as a raw material in production tests to determine how suitable it is for the production of different advanced biofuels.
Since the start of deliveries in early February, Preem has been performing tests of the oil at its facility in Lysekil, Sweden, which had already been granted a permit specifically for conducting production tests of pyrolysis oil.
The supplied oil had been recovered from end-of-life tyres at Enviro’s facility in Åsensbruk, and Preem has now informed Enviro that the tests have been successful.
The news from Preem is a further important confirmation of the commercial value of our recycling technology and the material we can extract using it. This provides additional support for our expansion plan and the anticipated profitability on which it is based, said Thomas Sörensson, CEO of Enviro.

A subsidiary of a leading US oil company has already carried out successful production tests of Enviro’s recovered pyrolysis oil. Following the successful production test, the unnamed company has placed a commercial order for Enviro’s pyrolysis oil worth a total of SEK 4.7 million,
In addition, to use in the production of biofuel, Enviro’s recovered pyrolysis oil can replace fossil-based oils in the oil and chemical industries.
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.
