1) The emissions that are covered by Metsä Board’s 2030 target. The Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions were reported for the first time in 2023. The GHG emissions have been retroactively calculated for 2022 and 2018. The Scope 3 calculation methodology was updated for 2022−2023. Some of the figures have been retroactively adjusted from previous reporting due to additional information. The reporting principles for metrics are presented in the Sustainability Statement.

Key measures, according to plan, for reducing fossil-based carbon dioxide emissions to zero. Some of the projects still lack a final investment decision and the times shown are indicative. The purchasing of power and heat will shift to fossil free energy sources. See also our interactive roadmaps on our website. Roadmap to fossil free mills by the end of 2030
Key measures, according to plan, for reducing process water use. Up to 50% of total process water use reductions per product tonne will be due to the planned renewal of Husum pulp mill. Some of the projects still lack a final investment decision and the times shown are indicative. See also our interactive roadmaps on our website. Roadmap for reduced process water use by the end of 2030
TAKO In steam production, natural gas is replaced by, e.g. electricity
HUSUM Optimising the separation of process water and uncontaminated cooling water. Renewal of Husum pulp mill, phase 2: New fibre line
Base year: 0%
Target: 100%
JOUTSENO Natural gas is replaced by biogas or electricity
TAKO Enhancing water recycling
SIMPELE Peat is replaced by renewable energy*
HUSUM, KASKINEN, KYRO, SIMPELE The power plant’s backup fuels will be replaced with renewable fuels
ÄÄNEKOSKI Enhancing water recycling and water use efficiency, combining wastewater treatment with Metsä Fibre
KASKINEN Optimising water use in debarking, in raw water chemical purification, and in wastewater treatment
KASKINEN Process fuels in chemicals recovery will be replaced with renewable fuels
KYRO Peat is replaced by renewable energy
KYRO The power plant’s new turbine and generator
SIMPELE Enhancing water recycling, optimising water use in debarking and in wastewater treatment
HUSUM, KEMI, KYRO, TAKO, SIMPELE Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas in the coating drying will be replaced e.g. with biogas or electricity
KYRO Optimising reject handling of raw water chemical purification, enhancing water recycling and optimising the separation of process water and uncontaminated cooling water
Starting point: 82%

Share of fossil free energy out of total energy. When the share is 100%, Metsä Board’s fossil- based CO 2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) are zero. *Simpele power plant discontinued the use of peat in 2023, but some peat is used in 2024 due to a lower availability of wood chips.
