Oji Fibre Solutions (NZ) Ltd - Tasman Mill — New Zealand

Pulp & Paper Mill in New Zealand. Approximate location -38.07422, 176.71717.

Pulp & Paper MillNew ZealandCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Oji Fibre Solutions (NZ) Ltd - Tasman Mill is a pulp & paper mill in New Zealand. Its listed capacity is 249,480 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 Oji Fibre Solutions (NZ) Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 among 3 pulp & paper mills in New Zealand. It emits about 134,825 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 4.8% of the CO₂e from the 7 facilities in New Zealand that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares

At 249,480 t of pulp & paper, Oji Fibre Solutions (NZ) Ltd - Tasman Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in New Zealand (249,480 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.
