Bioenergy - sustainable energy from by-products

SCA's renewable and sustainable products help others transition to fossil-free energy. Our extensive range of renewable fuels can be tailored to meet customer needs. When renewable fuels replace fossil fuels, the impact on the environment and climate is reduced.

Welcome to one of Sweden’s largest suppliers of forest-based solid biofuels!

By-products become sustainable energy

SCA engages in forestry to produce sawlogs. What cannot become timber products is turned into paper, pulp, or bioenergy in a highly efficient system where the entire tree is utilized.

Branches and tops, already collected in the forest, become chips and loose biomass. The bark is used for energy at the sawmill and by our customers.

The sawlog becomes long-lasting timber products, the chips become pulp, and the sawdust, a by-product from the sawmill, goes to pellet production.

Our own production and logistics ensure long-term and reliable deliveries. The raw materials are carefully controlled - we oversee the entire chain from forest to customer.

SCA’s solid biofuels are used for energy production, electricity, and heating - mainly in the Swedish market. The customers are large combined heat and power plants, local heating plants, large and small heating facilities, municipalities, multi-family houses and detached houses. 

In Härnösand, Timrå, and Sundsvall, surplus heat from the pellet industry and mills is also utilized in the municipalities’ district heating networks.

Briefly about solid biofuels

Residual product: No forest is logged solely for energy production. For fuel, we utilize residues from forestry and the forest industry. Solid biofule is a way to make use of the entire tree.

Biofuels: Solid biofuels are renewable energy produced from biomass, such as plants and plant parts.

Renewable: Biofuel and bioenergy are constantly renewed, unlike fossil fuels such as oil and coal.
