Technologies to reduce carbon emissions in tissue production

Even though pulp and paper mills are energy-intensive, our industry is one of least CO₂-intensive due to the wide use of bio-based and renewable fuels. The tissue and towel sector, however, emits more carbon per tonne of paper than most other paper grades, primarily due to purchased electricity from fossil-fuel sources. ANDRITZ is contributing in many ways to reduce the carbon footprint for tissue production through its “CircleToZero” initiative.

Lysefjord in southwestern Norway is spectacular: The deep blue inlet extends 42 kilometers inland, framed by rugged cliffs hundreds of meters high. At the end of the fjord, a different kind of gem is ensconced deep in the rock: the new Lysebotn II hydropower station. The Lyse Group produces highly efficient “green energy” here – with effective support from ANDRITZ.
