Mets&auml; Group&rsquo;s next-generation bioproduct mill in &Auml;&auml;nekoski, Finland, reached its nominal capacity in August 2018, according to plan. This makes Mets&auml; Group the world&rsquo;s largest producer of softwood market pulp. The bioproduct mill produced its millionth metric ton of pulp on 8 August 2018.
The bioproduct mill was started up on 15 August 2017, on schedule and within budget. The start-up phase progressed in line with the target curve.
The bioproduct mill produces 1.3 million metric tons of high-quality softwood and birch pulp annually, in addition to other bioproducts, such as tall oil, turpentine and bioenergy. New bioproducts that already complement the product portfolio include product gas from bark, sulphuric acid from the mill&rsquo;s odorous gases and biogas from the sludge from its wastewater treatment plant, as well as biofuel pellets.
The bioproduct mill serves as a platform for the production of new bioproducts, as well as further developing and expanding the industrial ecosystem in &Auml;&auml;nekoski. Mets&auml; Group is actively exploring various processes and product paths. Key bioproduct development projects include pulp-based lignin products and textile fibers.
