Metsä Fibre Oy - Joutseno Mill

Metsä Fibre Oy - Joutseno Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Finland with a reported capacity of 682,174 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by Metsä Fibre Oy. By capacity it ranks #5 of 19 pulp & paper mills tracked in Finland. It emits about 302,260 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 70,457 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median pulp & paper mill.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 682,174 t of pulp & paper, Metsä Fibre Oy - Joutseno Mill est autour de la médiane des pulp & paper mill en Finland (637,000 t of pulp & paper). Sous-secteur: pulp-and-paper. Comme pulp & paper mill, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 150–250°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les papeteries génèrent leur propre vapeur pour le procédé de cuisson et les sécheurs de papier, exploitant de grands systèmes de chaudières où la perte de chaleur réduit directement l'efficacité.
