WORLD PULPPAPER 29 production capacity nearly three times higher than the mill currently occupying the site it will operate within all the same emission limits and wastewater conditions of the existing environmental permit. Its sulphate emission into water will be around 15 per cent lower than those of the current mill. As the bioproduct mill will operate close to vast water resources its water needs will not impede any other parties access to or usage of water. Emissions of odorous gases will also be reduced significantly. Perhaps most impressively of all not only will the new bioproduct mill be completely self-sufficient in terms of electricity it will in fact produce 2.4 times more electricity than it consumes representing 2.5 per cent of all electricity production in Finland. Naturally this also completely alleviates the need for any fossil fuels. JUST THE BEGINNING All told nekoski will be the most energy-efficient pulp mill in the world. And it is fair to say that this is just a starting point. As those familiar with the company will know Mets Fibre emphasises continuous improvement in its operations with its personnel constantly at work to improve both material efficiency and all the various sustainability metrics mentioned above. With such an impressive range of achievements already in evidence right at the beginning how does the company see nekoskis future potential Riikka Joukio demonstrates the same trust in Mets Fibres experts that the company has placed in them for many years I really trust Finnish pulp and paper engineers. They always find a way to do things a little bit better. And this emphasis on continuous improvement particularly in terms of sustainability goes all the way up to our top management. At nekoski Mets Fibre has generated huge achievements in the field of sustainability both on a company level and for the pulp industry in general. Now more than ever there is abundant potential to market pulp as a genuinely sustainable product based on a renewable raw material. It might be too early to say how things will progress from here but the direction has been firmly set. All told nekoski will be the most energy- efficient pulp mill in the world BENCHMARK EFFICIENCY AND RAW MATERIAL USAGE Even the enormous scope of the nekoski development its importance to the European bioeconomy and all the innovative conceptual thinking underpinning its implementation cannot overshadow the facilitys most important properties - its sustainability credentials. These are numerous and challenging to summarise succinctly. Despite a Figure 5. do things a little bit better says Riikka Joukio
