St1 Nordic acquires UK’s Brocklesby Ltd to boost feedstock supply chain

In the UK, St1 Nordic Oy has acquired 100% of Brocklesby Ltd. Brocklesby is a recycling expert of used cooking oil and fatty food waste, being one of the UK’s leading refiners in this field. The waste collection is based on strong partnerships with a large number of restaurants, retailers and food manufacturers in the UK. The collection volumes produce over 46,000 metric tons of output annually. 

The acquisition of Brocklesby will strengthen St1’s value chain further upstream towards feedstock collection. It will provide feedstocks for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. A new biorefinery is under construction on the St1 refinery site in Gothenburg. The biorefinery will have an annual capacity of 200,000 tons of renewable fuels production and is expected to commence its operations in 2023. It is designed to optimize production of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. St1 already produces advanced ethanol and biogas from waste.
