Project Description
A mill capable of producing 350,000 air-dry metric tonnes of paper from wood chips, with associated infrastructure including a high-pressure gas pipeline. The wood chips would be sourced from eucalypt plantations and the mill would use the chemi-thermomechanical process to produce the pulp.
