Preol

About

PREOL, a.s. is the largest Czech rapeseed processor and a member of the AGROFERT Group, operating a large biodiesel, edible oil, glycerine and animal-feed plant in Lovosice that processes about 460,000 tons of rapeseed per year. In November 2024 PREOL commissioned a PX1500 pyrolysis unit that converts rapeseed chaff (~2,350 t/yr input) into roughly 715 t/yr of biochar, which is sold as a soil amendment and carbon-storage product. Biochar is a small adjacent activity within a core biofuels/food-oil business that would continue to exist without it.
