“…A detailed summary of commercial available energyefficiency measures and technologies applicable to pulping and papermaking can be found from the ENERGY STAR Guide (Kramer et al, 2009(Kramer et al, , 2010, in which the available technologies have been discussed that can be implemented at the component, process, facility, and organization levels. There are also some literatures focused on the aspect of environmental impact, ecoefficiency, and cleaner production of the pulp and paper sector (Abbasi and Abbassi, 2004;Abou-Elela et al, 2008;Avşar and Demirer, 2008;Cui et al, 2011;Dias and Arroja, 2012;Gabbrielli et al, 2006;Leon et al, 2014;Ren, 1998;Siitonen and Ahtila, 2010;Silvo et al, 2009;Thollander and Ottosson, 2010;Wang et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2011). However, information is limited or not easily accessible regarding emerging or advanced energy-efficiency technologies for the pulp and paper industry that have not yet been commercialized.…”

The pulp and paper industry accounts for approximately 5 percent of total industrial energy consumption and contributes 2 percent of direct carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from industries. World paper and paperboard demand and production are increasing significantly, leading to an increase in this sector's energy use and CO 2 emissions. Although current studies identify a wide range of energy-efficiency technologies that have already been commercialized for the pulp and paper industry, information is limited or scattered regarding new energy-efficiency technologies that are not yet fully commercialized. Development of emerging or advanced energy-efficiency technologies and their deployment in the market will be crucial for this industry's midand longterm energy saving and climate change mitigation strategies. This paper compiles available information on energy savings, environmental and other benefits, costs, and commercialization status for 25 emerging technologies to reduce the energy use and CO 2 emissions. The purpose is to provide a well-structured comprehensive review on these emerging energy-efficiency technologies for engineers, researchers, investors, policy makers, pulp and/or paper companies, and other interested parties.

“…Beer et al [16] described the method of selecting appropriate technological solutions in the production of paper to improve the energy efficiency of paper mills based on an exergy analysis of thermal processes. Gabbrielli et al [17] presented a project carried out at the Lucca paper mill in Italy concerning the reduction of energy consumption in a tissue machine. High energy losses were caused by the leakage of high-pressure steam from the separator downstream of the Yankee cylinder.…”

The article presents studies on the impact of the significant process parameters of a paper machine with a Yankee cylinder on its production capacity and heat energy consumption for drying the paper web. Parameters such as machine speed, web moisture content before and after pressing, parameters of steam supplied to the cylinder and parameters of hot air flowing from the nozzles of the hood were analyzed. The study’s results were used to optimize production to improve the energy efficiency and performance of the machine. In order to use the possible methods of improving the production capacity and heat energy consumption, the parameters of the production process were measured and the basic indicators characterizing the operation of the machine were calculated in the Yankee cylinder–dryer hood system. The correct functioning of the machine components and the possibility of their modernization were also analyzed. Technological and construction changes introduced based on the research results made it possible to increase the production capacity by 10% and to reduce the consumption of heat energy per 1 ton of produced paper by 16.3%. The article presents a description of changes in the technology of paper production and modernization of the tissue machine made in the years 2013–2022.
