The new mill will not only secure the 250 jobs in the existing pulp mill, but add anther 250 jobs to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More important, Mets\u00e4 Group says in a press statement, a total of 1,500 new jobs will be created across the entire direct value chain in Finland.

That will give\u00a0\u00a0some 1.5 million tonnes of softwood and hardwood pulp per year, as well as many other bioproducts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will also produce&nbsp;2.0&nbsp;TWh&nbsp;of&nbsp;renewable&nbsp;electricity per year, which equals to roughly 2,5 percent of Finnish total electricity production, the company informs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo fossil fuels will be\u00a0needed\u00a0in production,\u00a0and\u00a0renewable\u00a0energy in the form of\u00a0electricity, wood-based fuels and heat will be sold\u00a0from the mill\u00a0to external\u00a0customers,\u201d\u00a0said Ismo Nousiainen, CEO of\u00a0Mets\u00e4\u00a0Fibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thebarentsobserver.com\/en\/industry-and-energy\/2021\/02\/kemi-gets-largest-wood-processing-plant-northern-hemisphere\">thebarentsobserver<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investment decision was taken by Mets\u00e4 Fiber on February 11 to build a new bioproduct mill on the coast of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.12.2","language":"tr","enabled_languages":["en","ru","ar","tr","zh"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"ru":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ar":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"tr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"zh":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1845"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1848,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845\/revisions\/1848"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
