St1 Refinery
The St1 Refinery employs more than 200 oil industry experts in production and facility maintenance.
The refinery also operates as a blending hub
In addition to the fuel we refine from crude oil in Gothenburg, our partner, NEOT, supplies fuels to fulfil our demand. Our fuel blends contain several bio components that are sourced mainly from the global market with the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We are constantly aiming to develop and market new products that enable better fuel economy and make less of an impact on the environment. The share of the renewable components we use has increased in recent years as we have incorporated greater volumes of bio components.
Main products: petrol, sulphur-free MK-1 diesel and other middle distillates
The products of our refinery include mogas, JET A1, sulphur-free MK-1 diesel and other middle distillates, marine fuels as well as liquefied petroleum gas. The refinery also produces 0.5% S marine fuel, which complies with the IMO 2020 limit that came into force in the beginning of 2020. Most of our refined products are sold through our own St1 and Shell network in Sweden, Finland and Norway.
One of our Etanolix® biorefineries is integrated with St1 Refinery. Its feedstock includes bakery industry and retail waste, packed and unpacked. Biorefinery produces advanced ethanol, liquid animal feed and feedstock for biogas production.
The refinery is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Responsible production
The St1 Refinery was the first in Europe to acquire the environmental certification according to ISO 14001:2015. We set annual environmental objectives and targets for our refinery and closely monitor our progress in achieving them.
The St1 Refinery is also one of the most energy efficient refineries in the world. Most of the refinery's energy needs are met by its own gas production, and nearly a third of the heat generated by the plant is recycled to the City of Gothenburg's municipal heating network to provide heating for some 70,000 homes, enabled by the world's largest waste heat recovery installation.
Systematic development
Although we do not invest in new fossil energy production, we continuously work to enhance existing operations, focusing on developing energy efficiency and meeting higher environmental standards within our existing value chain.
At the St1 Refinery we always put safety first. The refinery has a Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management System in place to continuously improve our work concerning health, safety, security and the environment (HSSE) as well as minimize the risk of incidents.
Gothenburg Biorefinery
The Gothenburg Biorefinery, a collaboration between St1 and SCA, plays a key role in fulfilling our long-term strategy for advanced renewable fuels. The biorefinery, situated next to the St1 Refinery, has an annual capacity of 200,000 tons of biofuels and produces sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), renewable diesel (HVO), Bio-Naphtha, and Bio-LPG.
