Benefits

crops

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.

Leafs image

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
