The produced renewable fuels will significantly
reduce the CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuels. St1 has already
made a series of investments over the last two years at the refinery. The
entire investment includes a hydrogen production plant, a production plant for
renewable fuels and dedicated tank farm. In addition, new infrastructure and
required utility facilities will be installed to enable feedstock imports as
well as production and distribution of renewable fuels. The value of all the
related investments will be in the order of 200 M€.
