“…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.

“…The third paper in this group titled, "The influence of operational flexibility on the exploitation of CO 2 reduction potential in industrial energy production" (Siitonen and Ahtila, 2010) was authored by Sari Siitonen and Pekka Ahtila from the Department of Energy Technology, School of Science and Technology, Aalto University in Finland. They documented that the emission reduction potential of an energy conservation investment depends on many factors, e including energy prices, the system efficiency, and the operation schedules.…”

Greenhouse gases from industrial activities have become a global problem. Emissions management is being developed to raise awareness of the importance of controlling pollution in general and atmospheric emissions in particular. In 2017, the deficit of the rights of issuance in the industrial sectors increased up to 8.3% (verified emissions in 2017 versus allocation in 2017). This trend will increase more at the end of Phase III due to a progressive reduction in allocation. Phase IV will be much more restrictive in allocating emission rights than Phase III. The extra cost of this deficit reinforces the need for industry in general to reduce CO2 and for the paper industry to reduce GHG emissions and generate credits. Old factories are typically identified as sources of pollution in addition to being inefficient compared to new factories. This article discusses the possibilities offered by maintenance actions, whose integration into a process can successfully reduce the environmental impact of industrial plants, particularly by reducing the CO2 equivalent emissions (CO2-eq units henceforth CO2) they produce. This case study analyzes the integration of maintenance rules that enable significant thermal energy savings and consequently CO2 emissions reduction associated with papermaking. Managing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as the amount of cold water added to the boiler circuit and the conditions of the air blown into the dryer section hood, can be used as indicators of CO2 emissions generated. The control of the water and temperature reduces these emissions. A defined measure—in this case, t CO2/t Paper—indicates an achievement of a 21% reduction in emissions over the past 8 years.
