In addition to renewable diesel, the UPM Lappeenranta Biorefinery produces renewable naphtha. It is an ideal biocomponent for gasoline and for replacing fossil raw materials in various innovative products such as bioplastics. The raw material for Finnish UPM BioVerno naphtha consists of crude tall oil extracted during the pulp production proces
