The biorefinery uses certified sustainable wood to produce biochemicals, supporting responsible sourcing and brand trust, with production starting in late 2025.

A new biorefinery in Leuna will produce 220,000 tons of hardwood-based biochemicals annually, using sustainable forestry and advanced maintenance for efficient, eco-friendly operations.

The acquisition integrates unique technology for renewable functional fillers, enhancing UPM's biorefining capabilities and supporting growth in sustainable chemicals and materials.

The Leuna biorefinery will produce sustainable glycols and lignin-based fillers by late 2023. BioMEG and BioMPG will support various industries, promoting renewable circularity in the chemicals value chain.

The basic engineering phase for a new biorefinery begins, aiming for 500,000 tonnes of renewable fuels annually, reducing CO2 emissions and using sustainable feedstocks.

The biorefinery in Leuna, Germany will produce 100% wood-based biochemicals, targeting a 14% ROCE. It aims to replace fossil materials in various industries, leveraging sustainable wood supply.

Evaluating a biorefinery in Germany, the project aims to convert wood into bio-monoethylene glycol, bio-monopropylene glycol, and lignin, reducing CO2 footprint and not competing with food production.

The biorefinery will produce 120M liters of renewable diesel annually, creating jobs for 200 during construction and 200 during operation. It marks a significant investment in Finland's forest industry.
