The fiber industry
of tomorrow
Integrated renewable energy generation in
combination with smart heat generation and storage,
offers the path to a new Pulp and Paper production
utilising electrification, automation and digitalization
solutions.
The pulp mill production process represents a perfect
application to combine renewable energy and a
biobased carbon dioxide source to produce e-methanol
for the industry.
Producing carbon neutral fuel
The Pulp Mill´s biogenic CO emission generated in a recovery boiler can be upcycled in order to
convert waste into valuable carbon neutral e-fuel.

Water is split into hydrogen
and oxygen by electricity in
an electrolyzer.
Hydrogen
eMethanol
eMethanol is a liquid
carbon neutral fuel ideal
for shipping, paper mills,
combustion engines and
fuel cells.
Reactor
Biogenic CO2
The reactor combines
hydrogen and carbon
dioxide to form eMethanol.
Biogenic CO2 is captured
from large point sources,
such as pulp mills.
