UPM and the Government of Uruguay have signed an investment agreement, which outlines the local prerequisites for a potential pulp mill investment. The agreement details the roles, commitments and time-line for both parties as well as the relevant items to be agreed prior to the final investment decision.

upm logoThe agreement defines the requirements for the operating environment of a world-class pulp mill project. The site of the mill would be close to the city of Paso de los Toros, in the department of Durazno in central Uruguay.

A long-term industrial operation requires stable and predictable operational environment. This will be supported by several measures in the areas of regional development, environment, forestry and land planning as well as labour and energy conditions.

Infrastructure development as key enabler 

The Government will develop the rail and road network by tendering the construction and long-term maintenance of the network. The total investment by the Government has been reported to be approximately USD 1 billion. This investment is necessary to enable the establishment of efficient logistic infrastructure in the Uruguayan inland. The Government will also promote concession for a terminal specializing in pulp in the Montevideo port with rail access in order to secure reliable and competitive outlet to export markets.

Once the permitting requirements are fulfilled, the Government will grant the mill a free trade zone status, which is necessary to ensure competitiveness on international markets.

UPM will carry out an engineering study and permitting process for a pulp mill with an annual capacity of about 2 million tonnes of eucalyptus market pulp. The preliminary estimate for a pulp mill investment on site is approximately EUR 2 billion.

In addition, a successful project requires off-site investments in plantation land and forestry, road network and nursery capacity, harvesting and transport equipment, rolling stock for the rail, export facilities and human development.

"Robust infrastructure is elemental for industrial development. The Government of Uruguay is stating their serious intent with this agreement and timeline. The agreement sets the foundation for UPM's planning of a state-of-the-art pulp mill investment," says Jaakko Sarantola, UPM's Senior Vice President, Uruguay Development.

Global demand for sustainable pulp continues its strong growth

"A competitive world-class pulp mill must have a solid wood supply, well-working logistic infrastructure and efficient mill operations. The environmental performance of the mill would be secured with competent and engaged personnel and with best available technology. When in operation, the mill, forestry and related activities would employ 8,000 additional people in its full value chain. The operations would also have a significant positive impact on the central and north-eastern regions."

"The signing of this agreement confirms that we are now entering the second preparation phase of this prospect, which is expected to take some 1.5 to 2 years. Achieving significant progress in the implementation of the infrastructure initiatives is critically important for the final investment decision," says Sarantola.

"The world megatrends support a strong growth of the market pulp demand. UPM's customers value the stable quality of the Uruguayan eucalyptus pulp and hence Uruguay could be a competitive alternative for addressing UPM's pulp market opportunities in the 2020s. The possible new capacity in Uruguay would support UPM's multifibre strategy; to serve customers in growing hygiene, packaging and speciality end-use segments," concludes Sarantola.

In July 2016, UPM commenced discussions with the Government of Uruguay regarding the prerequisites for long-term industrial development in Uruguay. The aim of these discussions during the first preparation phase was to come to a mutual understanding on an investment agreement that defines the local prerequisites for industrial investment as well as initiatives for infrastructure development. The investment agreement was signed 7 November 2017.

The subsequent second preparation phase consists of an engineering study, tendering and permitting process as well as achieving significant progress in the implementation of the agreed infrastructure initiatives. Any relevant items are to be agreed prior to the possible final investment decision. This second phase is expected to last 1.5 to 2 years.

If these two preparation phases are concluded successfully, UPM will initiate the company's regular process of analysing and preparing an investment decision.

Finnish government lifts biofuel targets

Finland's center-right government has said it planned to lift the share of biofuels blended in transport fuel to 30 percent by 2030 to help meet the country's emissions reduction targets.

upm logoThe biofuels will mostly fall into the EU's "double-counting" counting, as they are produced from forest industry waste and residues. On that basis, the new target translates into a "double counting" share of more than 53%.

That compares with the government's previous "double counting" goals of 20% by 2020 and 40% by 2030, and an EU target of 10 percent by 2020.

The government also confirmed its plans to halve the use of imported oil for domestic needs, ban the use of coal in power generation and increase the use of electric cars to 10 percent of the country's vehicles by 2030.

Paper maker UPM-Kymmene has recently started the world's first plant in commercial use to make biofuel from crude tall oil, a residue of pulp production.

China's Sunshine Kaidi New Energy Group and Nordic energy company St1 are also planning investments to make biofuel from sawdust and other wood residues.

UPM Shotton’s Solar Success

UPM Shotton, a leading producer of 100% recycled newsprint, took a huge leap in its use of renewable energy earlier this year, following a connection to the UK’s largest solar park on the Deeside Industrial Estate in North Wales. The link-up means that UPM Shotton can run almost every daylight hour on 100% renewable energy. The solar site, which is visible from outer space, is one of the last and largest of its type under the current UK government policy.

2016 08 05 092011

The paper mill, which employs approximately 200 people across its Deeside site, already sources 70% of its energy needs via its renewable sources which includes its own biomass power plant which commenced operation in 2006. The agreement with British Solar Renewables  Welink Energy and Compton Group means that UPM Shotton has halved its purchase of power in April.

Andrew Bronnert, Head of Pulp and Energy for UPM Shotton, comments: “We already have a renowned energy policy with integrated assets such our own power plant and connectivity to EirGrid which operates wind farms in the Irish Sea and leases part of the UPM Shotton site.

“Our parent company UPM is already a world-leader in renewable energy and its strategy is to continually increase its use of energy from renewable sources such as hydro-power in Finland and its latest innovation bio-diesel derived from wood fibres. 

“This latest collaboration with British Solar Renewables,Welink Energy and Compton Group means we now have one of the most sophisticated energy provisions in manufacturing and adds to our strong environmental credentials which are recognised by the Welsh Government and its sustainability teams.”

Andrew Dodge from the joint venture between British Solar Renewables,Welink Energy and Compton Group added: “We’re delighted in the partnership and support we have received from UPM Shotton. With this particular project we’ve been able to further demonstrate our combined strength in business and renewables, working together to create an effective supply of energy for large manufacturing sites.”

The award-winning mill will also start up a second power plant and turbine in December 2016, enabling 100 per cent use of all steam produced on site.

The Solar Park has over 250,000individual photovoltaic panels and during daylight hours can provide the UPM Shotton site with 100% of its output. The paper mill is also connected to the National Grid and is able to sell-back some of its unused energy for example, during maintenance time when the paper machine is not running.
