Sunpine’s main product is ISCC-certified Raw tall diesel, an advanced biofuel feedstock with a CO₂ reduction value of up to 99.7 per cent. Here are some of the reasons why customers choose our Raw tall diesel – whether they are looking for traceability, security of supply or strong fuel properties.
The benefits
ONE OF THE HIGHEST CO₂ REDUCTION VALUES ON THE MARKET. According to current regulations, Sunpine's Raw Tall Diesel has a carbon dioxide reduction value of up to 99 percent.
TRACEABILITY. Sunpine's Raw Tall Diesel is certified according to ISCC, which verifies sustainability, traceability, and greenhouse gas reductions across the biofuel supply chain.
NO IMPACT ON LAND USE OR FOOD PRODUCTION. The production of Raw Tall Diesel does not affect global food chains, as our raw tall oil is a residual product from the pulp industry that would otherwise be wasted or burned.
ADVANCED BIOFUEL. Our Raw Tall Diesel is classified as an Advanced Biofuel under the EU's RED II directive. In many countries, the carbon dioxide reduction achieved with Raw Tall Diesel-based HVO can therefore be double-counted.
HIGHER YIELD. Our Raw Tall Diesel offers a higher yield compared to other biofuel feedstocks. This enables our customers to produce between four and twelve percent more biofuel in their refining process.
REDUCED HYDROGEN DEMAND. Raw Tall Diesel requires up to 40 % less added hydrogen in the refining process compared to vegetable oils and animal fats. For customers sourcing hydrogen from natural gas, this results in reduced purchasing costs for natural gas and a smaller carbon footprint.
HIGH AND CONSISTENT PURITY. Our Raw Tall Diesel is a refined and distilled product with a very low phosphorus and metal content. It requires no pre-treatment before processing at the oil refinery. It also enables our customers to minimise production down-time related to cleaning and catalyst replacements.
LARGE PRODUCTION CAPACITY. Sunpine operates the world’s largest facility for the production of raw tall diesel.
SAFE DELIVERY ROUTES. We deliver our Raw Tall Diesel directly from northern Sweden, bypassing logistical bottlenecks and geopolitical risk areas.
HIGH CETANE NUMBER. Raw Tall Diesel has a higher cetane number than fossil diesel, improving ignition quality and engine efficiency. Vehicles simply start more easily with HVO produced from Raw Tall Diesel.
OPTIMAL VISCOSITY. Viscosity is a critical factor in diesel engine performance. The balanced viscosity and lubricity of Raw Tall Diesel help extend engine life and optimise performance.
COLD-WEATHER PROPERTIES. With its optimised molecular composition, Raw Tall Diesel delivers superior cold-weather performance, outperforming other biofuel feedstocks.
HIGH ENERGY DENSITY. HVO produced from Raw Tall Diesel boasts a higher energy density than other biofuels, providing greater energy output and improved fuel efficiency.
Aviation is in the midst of a great transformation. The ReFuelEU Aviation directive is demanding a growing share of sustainable aviation fuel in all European refueling. Sunpine does not manufacture the jet fuel itself, but supplies a certified, traceable raw material – Raw Tall Diesel – that can be further refined into advanced biofuels for aviation.

The transport sector is now fundamentally changing and the demand for renewable diesel is growing rapidly. With Raw Tall Diesel, based on residual flows from the paper and pulp industry, Sunpine enables renewable diesel that works in today's engines and has up to 99 percent reduction value for carbon dioxide.

Shipping accounts for approximately 2 to 3 percent of global emissions. That is why the EU is now tightening the requirements for sustainable marine fuels. With Raw Tall Diesel from Piteå, made from raw tall oil, our customers can produce bio-based marine fuels that reduce the industry's climate impact.

Our bio-oil is a fossil-free heating oil for boilers and heating plants, and can replace fossil oils in Sweden's district heating networks.
Rosin is one of the forest's most versatile raw materials. A key application is in binders and so-called tackifiers – substances that help materials adhere to one another.
Alpha-pinene is used in the production of fragrance components for perfumes and cleaning products – and as a chemical building block in a range of industrial products, such as solvents.
We recover excess energy from our production process and deliver it to PiteEnergi. The company converts it into district heating, thereby supplying nearby industries with sustainable heat.
We will help you find the right solution for your needs.
