They are part of a floating climate manifestation against the expansion of Preem’s oil refinery in Lysekil, Sweden.The peaceful and coronavirus safe protest comes as the Swedish government is set to decide on an application from the oil company Preem to expand their oil refinery in Lysekil. 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 is incompatible with Sweden reaching its national emissions targets, its commitments to the Paris agreement and would prevent Sweden from advocating for increased climate ambition in the EU, which is crucial in global climate negotiations.Locations:Europe-Lysekil-Nordic Countries-SwedenDate:5 Sep, 2020Credit:© Edward Beskow / GreenpeaceMaximum size:7952px X 5304pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Eye contact-Flotillas-Greenpeace activists-Kayaks-KWCI (GPI)-Masks (protective)-Oil refineries-Outdoors-WomenShoot:Kayakers Protest against Preem’s Oil Refinery Expansion in Sweden10 kayakers are protesting outside the refinery of Preemraff in Lysekil.
