New bioenergy plant in Sweden progresses

Bioenergy plant operator Katrinefors Kraftvärme (KK) is set to build a new CHP plant in Sweden with local municipal energy company VänerEnergi.

This will be the second plant involving KK, a 50/50 joint venture owned by Metsä Tissue (MT), and it will be based in Mariestad near a MT mill. Construction is slated to start this April and be operational by the end of 2014.

MT will supply around half of the €30 million ($39.1 million) cost.
