When the refinery is completed, it would employ 150 persons full-time while bringing hundreds of jobs to local subcontractors and energy wood providers.

[5] The planned refinery in Ajos, Kemi would use second generation biofuel technology, such as plasma gasification, syngas cleanup and the Fischer-Tropsch process.

[5] Second generation biofuels refer to fuels that use municipal solid waste and materials high in lignocellulose content in their production.

Kaidi first began planning the biofuel refinery in 2014 after the previous project by Vapo and Metsä Group was discontinued.

[8] The project was put on hold until EU Renewable Energy Directive is implemented in Finnish law, which may happen 2020 or later.
