Co-processing plant in Austria \u2013
\nSustainable mobility through biofuels<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A world-famous Austrian oil, gas and petrochemicals company is taking the next step towards sustainable mobility and investing in co-processing technology at its Schwechat refinery site. This major project is characterised by the transformation to recycling-oriented thinking and innovative bio-oil processing.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The refinery in Schwechat, near the Austrian capital Vienna, is one of Europe\u2019s largest inland refinery and petrochemical sites. Here at the very heart of Europe, the globally renowned company is investing almost 200 million euros in the production of biofuels. The objective is to convert 160,000 tonnes of liquid biomass into carbon-neutral fuels annually by means of co-processing and to reduce its own CO2 emissions by replacing fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How co-processing works<\/strong><\/p>\n

Co-processing involves adding biogenic raw materials during the production of fuel and processing them together with petroleum-based raw materials in a hydrogenation plant. At the refinery in Schwechat, biofuel can be produced from raw materials such as rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, some of which come from local Austrian farms. The well-respected petrochemical company is working continuously to increase the proportion of sustainable raw materials used in its own production processes and is aiming to save up to 360,000 tonnes of fossil CO2 every year through the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil. One major advantage of the co-processing technology is that it is not limited to the use of vegetable oil. It is possible to use waste cooking oil for biofuel production in Schwechat, and environmentally friendly algae oil will also be an option in the future. The co-processing plant provides many innovative options for the production of biofuel. The biofuel the facility produces fulfils the highest quality requirements and complies with strict environmental, social and safety criteria across the entire supply and production chain. The biofuel can be used in all types of vehicles and is an important step towards the realisation of solutions for a sustainable mobility sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>
