annual production of technological steam
in annual electricity production
Sustainable circular economy
Benefits
The activation of abandoned land
12,500 hectares
of neglected land and poor quality land that is not used for food production (low ILUC on produced fuel)
Fuel with a negative carbon footprint
New jobs
in the biotechnology sector and indirectly in the agricultural sector through production and biomass supply in an area with high unemployment (around 30%)
The transformation
of one of the oldest refineries in the EU into an industrial centre for advanced and green technologies
The bio-refinery project envisages the installation of the innovative Futurol ™ technology combined with Bio-CCUS.
The FuturolTM technology was developed by the French company Axens, and the Sisak biorefienery would be the first commercial plant to produce advanced bioethanol. BIO-CCUS is a gas injection technology that enables permanent storage of biogenic CO2 underground.
THE PROJECT IS INCLUDED ON THE LIST OF STRATEGIC PROJECTS OF REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
