Metsä Group Initiates Wood-Based Carbon Capture Project in Finland
Metsä Group has started a pre-engineering project for a biogenic carbon capture plant at its Rauma pulp mill, aiming to capture 100,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop sustainable industrial materials and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Metsä Group is advancing a pre-engineering project for a wood-based carbon capture facility at its Rauma pulp mill in Finland, targeting an annual capture of 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. This facility will mark the initial phase of a long-term strategy that may ultimately capture millions of tonnes of biogenic CO2, which can be converted into raw materials for the chemical and fuel sectors.
The investment decision is projected for review no earlier than early 2027, with public financing expected to support early-stage development. Existing customer supply agreements have been established, indicating market interest in sustainable carbon utilization. The project could significantly enhance industrial activity and innovation in Finland.
