The Rainbow Warrior continues to blockade the approach to Preems oil refinery from waiting oil tankers.
Activists from Greenpeace Nordic are blocking a crude oil tanker from approaching and unloading its cargo to Preem's oil refinery in Lysekil. The activists are calling for Sweden's Prime minister Stefan Löfven to deny Preems application to expand the oil refinery. If the Swedish government grants Preem permission to expand, it would increase the CO2 emissions from Preemraff by one million tonnes per year and make the refinery the single biggest source of CO2 in the country. An expansion of Preemraff would be incompatible with Sweden reaching its national emissions targets and Its commitments under the Paris agreement.
