Chemrec to Sell Piteå Black Liquor Gasification Pilot Plant
Chemrec, Stockholm, Sweden, reportedly has put its black liquor gasification pilot plant at the Smurfit Kappa Kraftliner mill in Piteå, northern Sweden, up for sale. According to regional media, Chemrec will divest the pilot plant in Piteå, putting some 20 people out of work.
According to media reports, although Chemrec has made significant strides in the development of its technology to produce biodiesel through black liquor gasification, commercialization of the technology has been very slow. Thus the company now has to divest the pilot plant in Piteå.
