New and cleaner Enefit-280 oil plant
Recent years have seen a steady trend towards using oil shale to produce liquid fuels. In 2009, Eesti Energia started building a new oil plant with Enefit-280 technology, which is cleaner and more reliable and has a higher production capacity. This new generation of technology has been developed jointly by Eesti Energia and the international engineering company Outotec. Eesti Energia is planning to expand its oil business and to build a hydrogen processing complex by 2016, creating a business that can produce liquid fuels that are of higher quality than the current shale oil and that will meet all the legal requirements for use as motor fuel.
