VKG Wins Largest Oil Shale Mine in Estonia

Viru Keemia Grupp (VKG) will be the main oil shale company in Estonia by 2025. VKG’s production is rising even as overall oil shale mining goes down. This change affects Estonia’s energy industry.

Eesti Energia, the government-owned energy company, sold the Uus-Kiviõli field to VKG. This sale gives VKG a supply of oil shale for thirty years. VKG plans to build a new oil shale mine. The goal is to make VKG’s operations better. This transfer is a key part of Estonia’s energy strategy.
