4 Metsä Fibre Utilisation of EffFibre program results 20.11.2013 4 ‒ New competence and know-how have already been applied for our recent Joutseno PS investment in June 2013 – Increased pulping yield by glucomannan stabilisation with own process development ‒ In the “forestry” part, new tools to ensure better wood availability in the future have been built and also tools for a more cost-efficient wood procurement value chain ‒ Own spin-off projects in planning

5 Metsä Group Pulp mill in the core of future biorefineries 20.11.2013 5 Mill outline: Kvaerner Pulping Bark, saw dust Turpentine Hemi Precipitate, ash Glauber salt CTO Lignin, hydroxy acids New fibre products Waste water: sludges, P and N Commercial chemical Commercial energy use Current side-stream Extractable

6 Metsä Fibre Notes 20.11.2013 6 Our motivation to take part in joint research programs: ‒ Being part of open innovation is today a must ‒ FIBIC programs aim to build strong Finnish competence platforms ‒ Focused joint research is a cost-efficient way to get high quality research results How to improve: ‒ The greatest challenges relate to IPR issues (with the current system IPR islands are avoided, but, on the other hand, program partners are quite guarded and half-hearted in terms of the actual research) ‒ For the future joint research programs we must find focused “basic research” topics. Are there such left? ‒ We have to keep existing basic industry viable to develop it further
