Pulp and Paper

Turning CO2 emissions into a sustainability opportunity 

Biogenic CO2 emissions from biomass power plants can become a valuable asset when reused by eFuel facilities to produce eMethanol.

By integrating eMethanol production into their operations, pulp and paper mills have a remarkable opportunity to reduce their environmental footprint.

Instead of releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, it is captured, combined with green hydrogen and converted into eMethanol, thereby giving the opportunity to diversify product offerings and unlock new revenue streams.

Capitalizing on synergies between the eFuel facility and the pulp and paper mill, significant improvements in energy efficiency and cost reduction can be made.

Synergies

  • Energy Efficiency

    Waste heat and power from the mill can be utilized in the eMethanol production process, further enhancing energy efficiency.

  • Resource Optimization

    Oxygen, a byproduct of the electrolysis process in eMethanol production, is provided to the mill, optimizing resource utilization.

  • CO2 Mitigation

    Carbon capture technologies implemented in eMethanol production facilities mitigate CO2 emissions originating from pulp and paper mill operations, aligning with sustainability goals and reducing environmental impact.

  • Water Recycling Solutions

    Water used in the eMethanol production process can potentially be recycled or reused within the pulp and paper mill, reducing overall water consumption and promoting efficient resource utilization.

  • Local Production

    Local production of eMethanol eliminates the need to transport captured CO2 to external facilities, minimizing transportation costs and reducing emissions.

  • Joint efficiency

    Collaboration between the eMethanol plant and the pulp and paper mill can lead to shared resources and infrastructure, such as storage facilities, transportation networks, or utilities, optimizing operational efficiency and reducing costs for both facilities.
