Can Södra’s tall oil help reduce the climate impact of fuels?

Yes, every year Södra’s crude tall oil can help reduce the climate impact of the biofuel industry by around 90,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Wondering if that’s a lot? The answer is yes. The amount of CO₂ saved is equivalent to a return car journey to the sun - twice.

How much can we reduce our carbon footprint by using bio-methanol from Södra?

By switching to bio-methanol from Södra, you can significantly lower your carbon footprint – by as much as 99%. The product is ISCC certified, meaning its production is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. As such, bio-methanol plays an important role in creating a future with less impact climate impact.

What is the difference between Södra’s bio-methanol and conventional methanol?

The properties and quality are similar, but what sets our bio-methanol apart from traditional methanol is that ours is renewable.

What does biofuel mean?

Biofuel is a collective term for fuels produced from organic material, such as forest-based raw materials. Biofuels like tall oil, bio-methanol, and pellets contribute to sustainable development as alternatives to fossil-based products.

Biofuels from Södra

Our Products

Biofuel for industrial and consumer use

We offer high-quality biofuels for a variety of uses, all of which are sustainably sources from well-managed family forestry of southern Sweden.

Bagged fuel pellets

Södra’s pellets have a high energy content and can be used in pellet burners, pellet stoves, or with a pellet basket.

Bark

Södra offers both dried bark and standard bark, as well as deciduous and coniferous bark. Together, we find energy solutions sourced from family forestry.

Biomethanol

Biomethanol is a renewable product, produced fossil-free without compromising the properties expected of traditional methanol.

Forest residues

During harvesting in the family-owned forests, we make use of the entire tree. Branches and tops are gathered, then covered, dried, and chipped.

Fuel pellets bulk

Södra offers bulk pellets to various types of industries. The pellets have high combustion efficiency, low carbon emissions, and reliable availability.

Fuelwood

Fuelwood from Södra can be processed and then used for combustion in heating and combined heat and power plants.

Heat logs

Heat logs are briquettes that provide a simple and energy-efficient complement to firewood, delivering both high and consistent heat.

Sawdust

Sawdust from Södra is an attractive raw material for the production of fuel pellets. Its consistent quality also makes it an efficient product for power and heating plants.

Tall oil

Södra’s tall oil often replaces fossil-based substances and is found throughout our everyday lives – including in biofuels.

Wood chips

We offer a wide range of wood chip assortments that can be used as biofuel for power and heating plants as well as for industrial purposes.
