Abstract:

The activities of human civilization have imposed a high burden on the environment since the beginning of history on a global scale. That is why energy producers and consumers need to think deeply about the role that energy plays to achieve sustainable development. In this context, the maintenance of the environment, which cannot be replaced, should be taken into account precisely. Rising energy prices and market volatility, industry towards the use of energy management systems has led in order to compete reliable. Pulp and paper industry is not exception from this rule, Because the production of paper and paperboard demand is rising significantly on a global scale, that These factors lead to increased energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2 in this sector. In this context, a review of previous research and integrate them with the views of the experts, new methods for selecting the most appropriate technology in different sectors of the pulp and paper plant are provided.

Opportunities to Improve Energy Efficiency and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the U.S. Pulp and Paper Industry

The pulp and paper industry accounts for over 12% of total manufacturing energy use in the U.S. (U.S. EIA 1997a), contributing 9% to total manufacturing carbon dioxide emissions. In the last twenty-five years primary energy intensity in the pulp and paper industry has declined by an average of 1% per year. However, opportunities still exist to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in t...

Analysis of alternative secondary heat uses to improve energy efficiency – Case: mechanical pulp and paper mill

This paper discusses different possibilities to reduce primary energy consumption and CO2 emissions by increasing the energy efficiency of an integrated process plant. Firstly, possible opportunities for heat saving inside a mill were analyzed. After that, optional uses for the recovered amount of heat were identified. The effects of change were then evaluated. The primary evaluation criteria w...
