SCA invests approximately SEK 380m in expanded cooperation with Sundsvall Energi

SCA has approved an investment of approximately SEK 380m in expanded cooperation
between SCA’s industries in the Sundsvall region and Sundsvall Energi AB. The
agreement will enable SCA to increase its deliveries of energy to Sundsvall’s
district heating grid.
The investments will cover the rebuilding of two boilers, a new facility for
handling and grinding wood pellets and equipment for cleaning flue gases at
Ortviken paper mill. Östrand pulp plant will also be connected to Sundsvall’s
district heating grid as part of the investment.

As a result of the investments deliveries of heat derived from renewable fuels
to Sundvall’s district heating grid will increase. Ortviken paper mill will then
have the capacity to deliver up to 300 GWh/a based on wood pellets from SCA’s
BioNorr facility in Härnösand.

Oil consumption in Sundsvall will be reduced by a total of 25,000 cubic meters
annually as a result. For Ortviken, the annual decrease in oil consumption will
be 4,500 cubic meters, thereby reducing the mill’s already low carbon footprint
by about 40%.

The new facilities are expected to be operational in November 2013.
