Shale oil

Shale oil is Estonia's own petroleum

Liquid fuels made from oil shale and old tires contain energy that works for the benefit of humanity

Our liquid fuels are manufactured using efficient, environmentally friendly and resource-efficient Enefit technology. Shale oil can have different compositions. We can mix different shale oil products to make the final product suitable for the customer.

In Estonia, shale oil products are used primarily in boiler houses and small power plants to generate heat and electricity. Much of the shale oil production is exported as liquid fuel components.

Three reasons to prefer our liquid fuels

Environmentally friendly and efficient production

Facts about liquid fuel

  • Already the first studies in the 20th century confirmed that oil shale has great potential as a liquid fuel.
  • Oil is produced from oil shale in several countries, but the most thorough research has been carried out on different oil shale production technologies in Estonia.
