Even if the world succeeds in dramatically cutting its collective CO₂ emissions, there is an urgent need to remove billions of tonnes of CO₂from the atmosphere.

Important first step forward in journey to carbon-free industry

A new study commissioned by Cepi to AFRY, a Scandinavian firm supplying engineering and advisory services, shows the untapped further potential for paper mills to function as renewable energy hubs.

The largest cogeneration (generates electricity and heat) plant of its kind in France is under construction at the mill site of Norske Skog Golbey, France.

10-year contract for up to 175 gigawatt hours annually from 2023 onwards. RWE supplies green certificates of origin from Dutch onshore wind farm Waddenwind / Koehler Paper converts further part of production to green electricity.

UPM has officially opened a new combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Germany, bringing the company closer to meeting its ambitious target to decrease its CO2 emissions by 65% by 2030.

The steady flow of renewable electricity produced by UPM’s pulp mills in Finland helps to maintain the Finnish electrical system and ease the shortage of energy.

Smurfit Kappa’s Townsend Hook paper mill in the UK has introduced a new state-of-the art drying process innovation to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

UPM's commitment to wind power in Finland will significantly decrease emissions resulting from UPM’s paper production.

Voith offers energy-saving solutions along the entire process chain

Heat Management's HISS™ was installed as part of Södra expansion 2.0 project, resulting in production records (+9%), and increased boiler load by 12%.

Today, every mill is looking for ways to save energy – not only to cut down costs but also to reduce its carbon footprint. We at Runtech Systems are happy to share with you some tips how to do it.

Metsä Group’s objective is that it will no longer use any fossil fuels in its production by 2030 and will therefore not produce any fossil carbon dioxide emissions.

The BlueLine OCC stock preparation unit customized by Voith for paper manufacturer Papierfabrik Palm recently started operation.

Pumping systems account for more than 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand, and in certain industrial plant operations they can be responsible for between 25% and 90% of the energy usage.

Skutskär Mill in eastern Sweden is a modern pulp mill focusing on the production of fluff pulp for absorbent hygiene products such as diapers, other hygiene products and air-laid nonwovens. Skutskär Mill has a long history of continuously reducing the environmental footprint of its operations and products.

Domestic electricity for 45,000 homes for one year. That was the total excess from Södra’s own electricity generation according to new figures from 2021.

The recent rise in energy prices have hit industry hard, especially those using natural gas and other fossil fuels for steam generation.

As momentum for the circular economy grows, companies must find ways to make a substantial impact on the environment. It’s critical that companies combine their current strategies with new ideas, such as the use of biogas from landfills to better support the circular economy.

Every generation efficiency has been greatly improved at pulp and paper mills, and reality may be outpacing perceptions of the major industrial facilities.

Production line 8, which consumes 75,000 MWh per year, now only uses green electricity from the Schluchsee hydroelectric power plant. This is part of Koehler’s climate strategy and saves 45,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
