On Monday, Preem announced that the company is withdrawing its application for an extension of Preemraff in Lysekil.
Something that provoked reactions.
Among other things from climate activist Greta Thunberg.
She writes on Twitter that an expansion could never have been in line with the Paris Agreement. Greta Thunberg has previously been harsh on the government and its handling of Preem's expansion.
Several protests
The discussion about Preem's expansion has been protracted and infected.
The issue has divided Lysekil as the expansion would have provided more jobs but also a large increase in emissions.
Several protests have been carried out against Preem. Earlier in September, climate activists from Greenpeace climbed up and chained themselves to the cranes in the crude oil terminal in Lysekil.
