Strengthening our market position further
‒ Global demand for softwood pulp grows steadily
‒ Growth is strongest in Asia, especially in
China
‒ The investment supports Metsä Fibre’s growth
and improves profitability in the long run
‒ The cost competitiveness of the new mill utilizing
northern softwood fibre is good
‒ Location is logistically ideal for wood supply
‒ Existing industrial site and need to renew
the old mill within few years
‒ Metsä Board’s paperboard mill located in
the same integrate
‒ New products and bioenergy

Significant financial impacts for Finland
‒ Estimated annual income effect on the Finnish
economy approx. EUR 0.5 billion
‒ Increases the value of Finnish exports by EUR 0.5
billion annually
‒ Employment impact
‒ During construction more than 6,000 man-years
‒ When operational more than 2,500 jobs in the
whole value chain in Finland (currently 1,000)
‒ Biggest impact in forestry and transportation
‒ The mill will diversify the Finnish forestry sector and
bioeconomy structures and broaden the current
product portfolio
‒ Finland has the need and ability to utilize the
harvesting potential of fibre wood sustainably

Prerequisites for the final investment decision
‒ The final investment decision will be made during spring 2015
‒ Factors impacting the decision include
‒ The outcome of Environmental Impact Assessment
‒ Environmental permit granted
‒ Financial development of the world economy and development trends especially in Asia
‒ Overall situation in the financial market
‒ Collaboration with various parties and authorities regarding e.g. wood supply, logistics, various
permits, land use planning and subsidies

Bioproduct mill − more than a traditional pulp mill
‒ Wood is refined into biomaterials, bioenergy,
biochemicals and fertilizers sustainably and with great
resource efficiency
‒ Raw materials and side streams will be utilized 100 per
cent as products and bioenergy
‒ The mill will not use fossil fuels
‒ Energy efficiency will be emphasized when choosing
equipment and machinery
‒ The operating model will be based on an efficient
partner network
‒ New products will be created in collaboration with
various experts joining the network
‒ Creates opportunities especially for small and
medium-sized enterprises to produce innovative
bioproducts with high added value

Bioproduct mill’s product portfolio
Current products as the core:
‒ Biomaterials: high-quality pulp
‒ Biochemicals: tall oil and turpentine
‒ Bioenergy: bioelectricity, process steam, district heating,
wood-based fuels
Potential new products:
‒ Biomaterials: custom-made pulp, lignin upgrades, new fibre products
‒ Biochemicals: raw materials for bioplastics, fertilizers and process
chemicals
‒ Bioenergy: bio-oil, methanol, biogas, product gas, ethanol

Metsä Group
Unique ecosystem for bioeconomy will be born
‒ The new bioproduct mill will create a globally unique
ecosystem
‒ The emerging value chains will be extensive
‒ Significant opportunity for small and medium-sized
enterprises
‒ New processes joining the ecosystem will create
synergies for all parties
‒ Close collaboration with the city of Äänekoski in
various areas incl. water purification and district
heating
‒ Companies of a different size and in various development
phases, focusing for example on biomaterials and
bioenergy, will be invited to join the ecosystem
13
Metsä Group
Maximal energy and resource-efficiency
‒ The bioproduct mill will increase the share of renewable energy in
Finland by approx. 2 percentage points
‒ Energy efficiency and clean technology (cleantech) will be
emphasized when choosing equipment and machinery
‒ The mill’s emission levels will be lower than allowed by
Äänekoski mill’s current environmental permit
‒ All production side streams and waste will be utilized as efficiently
as possible
‒ Material efficiency will be top in class

Metsä Group
Harvesting potential can be utilized sustainably
‒ The bioproduct mill will increase the use of wood significantly
‒ The use of fibre wood will increase nation-wide by approx. 4 million m³ i.e. by 10 per cent from the
current state
‒ The increase will be mainly softwood
‒ Sustainable increase for softwood fibre is 7 million m³ and for hardwood fibre 4 million m³
‒ Wood can be sourced mainly from Finland. The increase will impact the whole country
‒ Over 90 per cent of wood is certified
‒ Requires that
‒ Wood supply from privately owned forests increases clearly in line with the growing demand
‒ Wood import stays at least on the current level
‒ Wood supply is secured by
‒ Metsäliitto Cooperative’s wide, solid owner base
‒ Metsä Group’s strong wood products industry
‒ Central location of Äänekoski

Aiming for operation in 2017
‒ Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and environmental
permit process are proceeding according to plans with the aim
of completing them during the first quarter 2015
‒ The contact authority’s (ely-centre) statement on Metsä
Fibre’s EIA report will be ready in October 2014
‒ The application for the mill’s environmental permit has
been submitted in September 2014
‒ Technical pre-planning of the mill is ongoing together with the
suppliers and the leading designer company and will be finished
in January 2015
‒ Demolition of the old mill building will start in Autumn 2014
‒ The final investment decision will be made during spring 2015,
so that the new mill could be operational in 2017
