Biorefining industry of tomorrow: High value-adding products with all materials,
including residues, processed
Pulp and paper industry today: Relatively low value-adding products mostly
from primary raw materials
Biofuels a key step on transformation towards biorefining industry
Future growth avenues Current focus areas
Woody biomass • Logs • Pulpwood • Energy wood • Recycled fibre • Saw dust • By-products

Bark and branches to renewable diesel and energy
Fibres to pulp
Extractives to renewable diesel or biochemicals
Logs for sawn goods and plywood
Fibres to biofibrils
Ligning, Cellulose or hemicellulose To biochemicals
Fibres to biocomposites

UPM Biofuels strategy
Renewable fuels
Wood-based raw materials
Sustainable operations
• Drop-in fuels fully compatible with all vehicles and fuel distribution systems
• Renewable wood-based raw materials not suitable for food production
• Significantly, even 80%, less greenhouse gas emissions
• Sustainable raw-material sourcing
UPM will be a big player in advanced biofuels market Revenue targeting > 1 billion €/a

First step in biofuels business - UPM Lappeenranta Biorefinery
RENEWABLE DIESEL
• Commercial-scale industrial investment - Total investment 150 M€ - Production 100 000 tons/a of renewable diesel - Production starts in 2014 - Employs in total 200 persons (incl. indirect) - Contributes to 25% of Finland’s biofuel target
in 2020

Raw material: Crude Tall Oil (CTO)
• Residue of chemical pulping process
• Yield 20−50 kg CTO/ton of pulp
• Global production now > 1 700 000 tons/a - Additional CTO supply potential clearly
above demand globally - Significant share burnt for energy
• UPM Lappeenranta refinery minor addition
to total demand, therefore will not affect demand-supply balance
• Utilization of low grade CTO
Residue
No indirect land-use change
Outside food value chain

Sustainably produced renewable diesel
• Unique renewable diesel - Drop-in hydrocarbon - comparable to fossil fuel - Ready component for commercial blends - No blend wall limitations - Compatible with fossil diesel EN590 standard quality
• Tested in engines & vehicles with independent research centres
- Fully compatible with current diesel motors and fuel distribution network
- Tail pipe emission benefits
• Fleet tests started with VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland)

Solid wood biomass to biofuels

Second step in UPM Biofuels business - Solid biomass to fuels
Raw material
• Sustainably sourced forest residues: logging residues, woodchips, bark - Collected without increasing wood harvesting - No change in indirect land-use (ILUC) - Added value for wood biomass
Technology concepts
• BTL: Gasification – FT synthesis – Wax up-grade - Input 1 million tons of wood biomass (wet) - Output 100 000 tons of renewable diesel - UPM granted EUR 170 million EU NER300 grant - Decision by 2014
• Pyrolysis & Bio-oil upgrade to transportation fuels - Ongoing development
BTL= Biomass-to-liquid
EU NER300 = New Entrants Reserve. The purpose of this programme is to finance and advance new renewable energy technology and it is funded from the sale of emission allowances in Europe. NER300 is also one of the political decisions targeted for reducing Europe's carbon footprint. Total fund EUR 1.3 – 1.5 billion.
