And the winner is… Dalum Papir
ArjoWiggins Dalum Papir in Denmark, was the winner of the Green Energy and Biofuels Award, at the PPI Awards gala in Brussels recently. Dalum Paper is a leader in the recycled fine paper market and has become a green energy supplier of district heating. On average, 15 percent of all households in Odense consume recovered heat from the mill, allowing the city to close a coal-fired plant.Wanting to reduce the mill's energy consumption, a five-year project focused on capturing excess heat from paper production and implementing a new energy source. This investment in new technology to switch from natural gas to biofuel, along with optimizing existing equipment, changed the mission for the company. As a result, electricity consumption has been reduced by 13 percent, steam by 64 percent, and a 93 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.The Green Energy and Biofuels Award is sponsored by Andritz. /AA
