We are committed to helping our customers fight climate change with our wood-based advanced biofuels. Our UPM BioVerno products meet the need to reduce transport emissions and find renewable alternatives to the production of various plastics.

The UPM BioVerno diesel and naphtha are made from crude tall oil, a renewable raw material and a residue of pulp production. Its production does not compete with the production of food or cause additional felling of trees.

Our advanced biofuels are already hard at work across the EU and Scandinavia, reducing emissions from traffic, especially heavy-duty transport. UPM BioVerno naphtha has found its way into car parts, labeling materials and food and cosmetic packaging across the globe.

Our employees are proud of being able to do their part in building a world beyond fossils.

Join us as we take the next exciting steps on our journey.

Advanced biofuels and bio-based materials are some of the new and innovative businesses UPM has successfully built and grown during the last decade. They represent important strategic initiatives for the company.

 
Our long-term ambition is to become a major stakeholder in advanced biofuels and bio-based materials and to increase their significance within the company.

We focus on market and customer-driven business through stable and profitable production, while developing with an eye on growth. This is achieved by studying the opportunities provided by emerging technologies, raw materials, and regulation.

Renewable energy and material solutions are the way to a sustainable future. We combine the bio and forest industries to enable the achievement of the ‘zero emissions by 2100’ target set by the UN Climate Change Panel (IPCC).

As a frontrunner in the new forest industry, UPM will lead the integration of the bio and forest industry towards a more sustainable and exciting future. The key concepts in this process are innovation, accountability, and resource efficiency.

UPM Biofuels will play a key role in implementing UPM’s Biofore strategy, providing dependable, high-quality renewable products for transportation as well as  for bio-based materials. We work with our customers to deliver sustainable growth and a better future for all.
