NORDIC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS’ SUSTAINABLE NORDIC BIOECONOMY CASE IN CIRCULATE CATEGORY
The Kemi-Tornio region in northern
Finland has established an Arctic
industry and circular economy cluster
to enhance industrial symbiosis and
strengthen the development of a
holistic bioeconomy in the region. Via
extensive analysis of the by-products
and residue streams from companies
in the region, value-added products
are now being produced by combining
and rethinking several by-product and
residue streams. Examples include
silvicultural thinning practices,
bioenergy from forest residues with
the possibility for future for largescale
biofuel production, as well as two
plants that enable recovery of metals
from slags from the steel and
ferrochrome production in the region.

FINNISH NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL CIRCULAR ECONOMY CENTRE IN KEMI• Focus is in the circular economy and the bioeconomy• In partnership with the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, City of Kemi, Digipolis – Kemi Technology Park
and Lapland University of Applied Sciences• First industrial circular economy centre in Finland with national level mandate• Virtual network of industry, university and development experts
Aims of the centre:National level• To promote education and competence in the industrial circular economy across the whole of Finland• To spread operating models of the Kemi region’s industrial circular economy throughout Finland• To boost the successful circular economy development work that Digipolis – Kemi Technology Park has
carried out and to generate vitality for the city of Kemi and for the whole of FinlandCity of Kemi and Lapland level• To create new investments and jobs – Industry modernization• Help investments to be more sustainable and efficient• Lapland is Europe’s model region for the sustainability: modern cluster development in the sustainable
refinement of natural resources• Establishing common systematic operational culture Activation and cooperation of authorities,
municipalities, industry, industrial services etc.

COMPETITIVENESS
• At mill and industry integrate level:
• to evaluate the single investment and/or mill site operation chain sustainability, including supply chain management’s sustainability
• At corporate level:
• to evaluate sustainability of company’s mill sites (helps when investment moneyis shared)
• to give valuable information for greenfield mill investment
• to give valuable information when you want to buy the existing factory
SAT AND IT’S USE Case 2. Need for additional wastewater treatment unit
Environmental authority requirement
BIOREFINERY BOOSTS NEW ECOSYSTEM
1. Biofuel refinery opens up new raw material market• Currently more energy wood is harvested than used• Biorefinery can also use other forest industry by-products
2. Biorefinery would improve resource efficiency and create synergies• Energy wood is residue from forest thinnings and harvesting – Optimal use of woody biomasses• Synergies with current biomass logistics, terminals and production sites
3. Biorefinery would create new ecosystem• Unique production site refining certified and renewable natural resources• High value addition from excess natural resources: over 8 million m3 more wood grows annually that
is used in Lapland• Industry modernisation and sustainability
4. New opportunities for eco-innovative service companies• Possibilities for novel harvesting, logistics, terminal and service solutions• Cross sectoral value chains?
5. Indirect effects on regional economy
BIOREFINERY AND INNOVATION
Digitalisation – Industry 4.0• Forest information database and management system Implementation for the forestry ecosystem• E-trade system and life-cycle services for woody biomass land owners
New business and operational models• Totally new supply chain for energy wood: harvesting technologies, terminals, drying of raw materials,
logistics: containers and transport units, whole ecosystem around biorefinery (biomaterial utilisation and biodiesel refinery): suppliers and industrial symbiosis, integrated wood production units – bettercustomer perspective on product categories
Technology and R&D&I• New harvester models (Fixteri for example) and harvesting equipment• Demonstration plant – first of many: long term continuous R&D&I and resources – monitoring, R&D&I,
testing, piloting, scaling-up, manufacturing, commercialisation, internationalisation
