Kaskinen Pulp Mill — Finland
Pulp & Paper Mill in Finland. Approximate location 62.22108, 21.14419.
Pulp & Paper MillFinlandCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Kaskinen Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Finland. Its listed capacity is 385,577 t of pulp & paper. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency. It is operated by UPM-Kymmene Oyj. By capacity it ranks #9 among 13 pulp & paper mills in Finland. It emits about 170,842 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.4% of the CO₂e from the 28 facilities in Finland that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 18% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 385,577 t of pulp & paper, Kaskinen Pulp Mill is below the median pulp & paper mill in Finland (642,628 t of pulp & paper). Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 171k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Kaskinen Pulp Mill carries €14.6M/yr of carbon at the full EU ETS price (€85/t CO₂). Free allocation phases out to 2034 (Reg. (EU) 2023/956), so today's bill is lower and rising toward this full-price figure.

Local climate
Kaskinen Pulp Mill sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate zone (Köppen Dfc), at 62.2°N in the northern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with marine corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1452 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.12× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
