St1 Refinery, Gothenburg
Production in Sweden: St1 Refinery AB
• The “Koppartrans” refinery was built in 1947, start up 1949
• Taken over completely by Shell 1964
• Shell’s business in Sweden and Finland (except Aviation and LPG) acquired by St1 in December 2010
Capacity covers approx. 25% of the Swedish demand for oil products.• Operates supply and depots
• ~200 refinery employees + 28 in terminal operations
• Integrated Ethanol production starts 2015, Q2

Bioproduction in Finland: St1 Biofuels Oy
“Turns waste into sustainable biofuels”
• St1 Biofuels Oy was established in 2006.
• Pioneered in waste-based bioethanol production
with several plants built.
• The expertise of St1 Biofuels:biochemical processes, technology development,
engineering, turn key project deliveries
• ~140 employees
St1 operates the
overall supply chain
for transport fuels
including production, distribution
and retail network
to the end consumer.

Our goal is to:
• Develop and commercialize functional and environmentallysustainable energy solutions
• Deliver these solutions profitably
Each energy solution must be:
• Technically ready for use today• Ecologically and ethically sustainable• Logistically feasible

Hamina Etanolix®
Absolutation of ethanol• Ethanol produced in Etanolix is centrally dehydrated in our
Hamina absolutation plant.
• Annual capacity 88 Mio liters of 99,8% ethanol
St1 has been building a network of ethanol plants across Finland since 2007 with the goal to produce around 300,000 m3 of ethanol for traffic fuel use from waste and side streams by 2020.

Production capacity• Ethanol (as per 100% EtOH) 5.000 m3/a
Feedstock
• Industrial bakery waste & industrial process residue
• Out dated waste bread from shops and markets
• Approx. 20.000 t/a feedstock is required
Products
• Anhydrous fuel grade ethanol • Liquid animal feed for farms / feed for
biogas plant (AD)
Etanolix® 2.0 – ethanol plant integration to the Refinery
Etanolix 2.0 LIFE+ project•New raw material handling; receiving station•Unique way of integrating the ethanol plant in a conventional refinery•Production starts Q2 2015

Investment of EUR 40 million, of which 30% is coveredby an investment subsidy granted by the Ministry of Employmentand the Economy for biorefineries producing transport biofuels.
When completed, the Cellunolix® plant willemploy 15–20 people directly and about 15 peopleindirectly. During product development, planning and construction, the project will generate about200 person-years of employment.
