Financing to support Kemira RDI activities in water and other specialty chemicals for the period 2013-2016.
The project concerns investments in research, development and innovation related to water treatment, pulp and paper chemicals, specialty chemicals, predominantly taking place in the promoter’s European R&D facilities in Espoo, Finland.
The project mainly concerns investments in R&D that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorised for the same purpose and would therefore not require an EIA under the Directive 2011/92/EU. Full environmental details will be verified during the appraisal.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting authority. Thus it is not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
The Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF) is an innovative credit risk sharing scheme jointly set up by the European Commission and the European Investment Bank to improve access to debt financing for private companies or public institutions promoting activities with a higher financial risk profile in the fields of research, technological development, demonstration and innovation investments.
