SCA Massa Östrands massafabrik SCA Graphic Sundsvall AB Pulp Mill — Sweden
Pulp & Paper Mill in Sweden. Approximate location 62.48546, 17.32487.
Pulp & Paper MillSwedenCO₂ estimate (modelled)
SCA Massa Östrands massafabrik SCA Graphic Sundsvall AB Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Sweden. Its listed capacity is 900,000 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. By capacity it ranks #1 among 11 pulp & paper mills in Sweden. It emits about 458,263 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 3.2% of the CO₂e from the 29 facilities in Sweden that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 6% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375660.

In context: how this facility compares
At 900,000 t of pulp & paper, SCA Massa Östrands massafabrik SCA Graphic Sundsvall AB Pulp Mill is well above the median pulp & paper mill in Sweden (650,000 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.

Local climate
SCA Massa Östrands massafabrik SCA Graphic Sundsvall AB Pulp Mill sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate zone (Köppen Dfc), at 62.5°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 moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1462 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.
