Pulp and paper production is massively scaling. Demand for packaging and specialty papers from drinking straws to face masks is constantly increasing. For the last decades, the need to keep steam production reliable and affordable has been a high priority in this industry.
However, the energy transition is now posing significant challenges. Volatile electricity prices and high carbon footprints, plus changes in paper type and paper mills are all causing industry fluctuations. New technologies are needed to achieve net-zero as soon as possible while not exceeding production costs at unreasonable manner and ideally reducing total consumption.
ENERGYNEST offers a variety of solutions tailored to customer setups, unlocking energy efficiency in pulp & paper manufacturing. Waste heat recovery, flexibilizing cogeneration or producing heat from concentrated solar energy: thermal storage allows you to balance existing combined heat and power (CHP), store excess steam for on-demand access, or provide reliable clean heat from excess renewable electricity.
