Doosan Škoda Power has successfully commissioned a state-of-the-art 270 MW steam turbine at Metsä Fibre Kemi bioproduct mill in Finland. The mill in Kemi is an advanced bioproduct mill that utilizes cutting-edge technology to produce high-quality pulp from sustainably sourced wood.
Doosan Škoda Power's steam turbine, which boasts advanced engineering and innovative features, is designed to maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact. The turbine's integration into the Kemi bioproduct mill will further optimize the process, allowing for more efficient power generation and utilization of resources.
Metsä Fibre's Kemi bioproduct mill is a significant investment by Metsä Group, aiming to revolutionize the pulp production industry's environmental footprint. The mill will produce some 1.5 million tonnes of softwood and hardwood pulp per year, as well as many other bioproducts. Additionally, it will produce 2.0 TWh of renewable electricity per year, which equals roughly 2.5% of Finnish total electricity production. By replacing fossil fuels with renewable bioenergy, the mill significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to the transition towards a carbon-neutral future.
Doosan Škoda Power is a global leader in the design, manufacture, and commissioning of steam turbines, turbo generators, and related power plant equipment.
