Forest industry of Russia:
logging, processing, production

The project on construction of the largest bio-technological complex for deep processing of wood in the Boguchan district of the Krasnoyarsk province with a capacity of 1 million tonnes of whitened softwood pulp per annum is currently in design. A positive resolution of the national ecological review committee was received; project public hearings were held. In December 2021, the Government of the Russian Federation made amendments in the project to determine the resource base for the future complex. Rated wood cutting was increased to 6,75 million cubic meters per annum. The best available ecological and energy efficient technologies will be applied to develop the project. Initiator applies the most resource-saving solutions.

The projects are under development in the Ufimsky district: the first investment project valued at 6,2 billion roubles implies reconstruction of a factory aimed at production of OSB. Project timeframe is 2021-2024. Within the framework of the project, it is planned to increase the output from 475,000 m3 to 700,000 m3 per annum including via low-quality wood. In May, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic included the project into the list of prioritised ones.
The second investment project with investment valued at 6,8 billion roubles implies establishment of a new factory to produce components to release chipboard and oriented strand board. The following goods will be produced: MUF-concentrates, UF-resin, formalin and additives, as well as the components required for their production. The project is included in the list of prioritised ones.

This large-scale investment project is aimed at increasing operational efficiency, development of deep processing of wood, better quality of the released produce, and efficient use of forest resources. Within the programme for modernisation there will be built new production capacities: sorting of raw materials, a chipping headrig sawing line, a pellet production factory with a capacity of 30,000 tonnes of granules per annum thus converting the complex into a wasteless one. Owing to modernisation, the complex will boost its annual release of sawn material by 20% to 280,000 m3.

Currently, project permits are undergoing the approval process. It is planned to convert the land with an area of some 200 ha to the status of land for energy, industry, communication, transportation purposes.

The Government of the Komi Republic and Luzales Company signed the agreement of understanding which implies the development of an investment project. The investment project encompasses the construction of a factory to produce MDF-caul in the Syktyvdinsky district. The capacity will be 1 million m3 of end produce per annum.

The project implies establishment of a high-tech production complex featuring a cellulose line. The pulp and paper factory will be built on an area of some 100 ha on a site of the leading assets of the Lesosibirsky LDK №1. To date, a roadmap is under compilation; infrastructure survey works are completed; detailed technical design and permits preparation are afoot. The capacity will be sone 700,000 tonnes per annum.
