New Biopower plant opens at Metsä Board

2012-10-16 Metsä Board has opened a new EUR 50 million biopower plant at its Kyro mill site in Finland. The move will result in an approximate halving of the carbon footprint of Metsä Board’s high quality folding boxboards Carta Elega, Avanta Prima and Cresta wallpaper base product family.

“We have been working on improving energy efficiency and sustainability

of our mills. The new biopower plant will help us in these efforts, as

well as meeting our target of cutting CO2 emissions by 30% across

operations by 2020 compared to 2009 levels,” says Mikko Helander, CEO

of Metsä Board. The new biopower plant will replace the use of fossil natural gas with

CO2-neutral, discarded wood. This is predominantly bark and other

biomass from industrial side streams, as well as logging residual and

chips from first thinnings of growing forests. The biopower plant will

produce electricity and heat for Metsä Board Kyro, and also provide

heating for the neighbouring district of Hämeenkyr?.
