Wood-based carbon capture is a major opportunity for Finland – and the climate
The carbon dioxide generated by pulp mills is a valuable, largely untapped side stream that could be captured and used as a raw material for products replacing fossil-based materials and fuels as the technology and markets develop.“Carbon capture offers Finland a major opportunity to build a new industry – and to undertake significant climate action, as the use of wood-based carbon dioxide reduces fossil raw material consumption and the related carbon dioxide emissions. It also promotes the EU’s climate targets,” says Kaija Pehu-Lehtonen, project director of Metsä Group’s carbon capture
