**Preem's Redefine HVO100 Achieves Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Driving Sustainable Fuel Innovation**
Preem's Redefine HVO100 has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first liquid fuel to be awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel under its updated 2022 criteria. The Nordic Swan, the official ecolabel of the Nordic countries, mandates that qualifying fuels must demonstrate at least a 75% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel alternatives. Further stipulations include the use of sustainably sourced and traceable raw materials, with a strict prohibition on substances such as palm oil. Anna Linusson, CEO of Ecolabelling Sweden, expressed optimism that this achievement will catalyze broader environmental advancements across the industry.
Preem produces Redefine HVO100 at its Gothenburg refinery, utilizing residual products like tall oil, animal fats, and food waste. This production process results in over a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions relative to conventional diesel. Notably, the fuel is compatible with the majority of diesel engines without requiring any modifications.
