Finland-based firm St1 has signed letters of intent with Alholmens Kraft and UPM on a sawdust-based ethanol plant in the Alholma industrial area in Pietarsaari, Finland.
The Cellunolix plant, which uses sawdust and recycled wood, is planned for UPM's Alholma industrial area. Alholmens Kraft and UPM would provide the project with services and commodities and would utilize the byproducts of ethanol production in their own processes.
In order for the project to push through, an environmental impact assessment procedure (EIAP) and an approved environmental permit will be required. The project is estimated to be in the investment decision stage in 2018, and the Cellunolix plant manufacturing bioethanol would start in 2020.
