The mill was completely modernised at the turn of the 21st century. It is the world\u2019s largest single-line softwood pulp mill and a world leader in efficiency and environmental management.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to a bark gasification plant introduced in 2012, the mill is fossil fuel free and has zero carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The mill produces more bioenergy than it needs and it is a pioneer in the utilisation of renewable energy. Thanks to the bark gasification plant introduced in 2012, the mill does not use fossil fuels and thus generates no carbon dioxide from non-renewable fuels, during normal operation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The electrical self-sufficiency of the world\u2019s largest single-line softwood pulp mill is 175%.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To fuel the limekiln, biogas is produced from the bark of softwood that is used as raw material for the pulp. The electricity and thermal energy, generated by the recovery boiler, are utilised in the mill\u2019s production, while the surplus is sold. The excess heat from the process is efficiently recovered and used to heat such things as the chip silo. In addition to the tall oil and turpentine generated in the pulp cooking process, there is also enough bioelectricity to be sold; the mill produces 75% more electricity than it consumes. This amount corresponds to the amount of electricity needed by private households and agriculture in the Lappeenranta region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7232,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-7230","teko","type-teko","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>World&#039;s first carbon neutral pulp mill - Greenreality<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"World&#039;s first carbon neutral pulp mill - Greenreality\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Pulp has been produced for more than a hundred years at Mets\u00e4 Group\u2019s Joutseno mill.
