Preem, founded in 1980, stands as Sweden’s largest fuel company and one of the key players in the Nordic energy sector. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and customer service, Preem has established itself as a leader in the transition towards a more sustainable energy future. Preem’s journey began with the merger of two Swedish oil companies, OK Petroleum and Nynäs Petroleum, in 1980. Since then, the company has continuously innovated and expanded its operations, evolving from a traditional oil refinery to a comprehensive energy company offering a wide range of products and services. With 18 million cubic meters of crude oil refined per year, Preem accounts for 80% of the Swedish refinery capacity and 30% of the Nordic refinery capacity. Also, around two-thirds of the production is exported, making Preem one of Sweden’s largest export companies.
Sustainable Energy Solutions
In recent years, Preem has made significant investments in renewable energy and sustainable technologies, aiming to reduce its environmental impact and contribute to the fight against climate change. The company has implemented ambitious initiatives such as biofuel production, carbon capture and storage projects, and investments in renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.
Biofuels and Renewable Energy
Preem is at the forefront of biofuel production in Sweden, operating one of Europe’s largest biorefineries in Gothenburg. The refinery produces renewable fuels from raw materials such as tall oil, rapeseed oil, and waste fats, offering customers a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. By investing in biofuels, Preem is helping Sweden reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and transition towards a more sustainable energy system. The company operates a network of fuel stations equipped with modern facilities across Sweden, providing customers with access to high-quality fuels, convenience products, and automotive services.
Looking to the Future
As Sweden and the world continue to transition towards a more sustainable energy future, Preem remains committed to leading the way with innovative solutions and forward-thinking initiatives: renewable energy, biofuels, and sustainable technologies. Preem’s journey from a traditional oil refinery to a sustainable energy leader is shaping the future of energy in Sweden and beyond, demonstrating that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.
