Abstract

It is crucial to cut energy use for paper mill to minimize environmental impact of the pulp and paper industrial sector. In this paper, we analyzed the energy savings of paper mill based on techno-economic analysis using Energy Efficiency Assessment and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction (EAGER) tool for pulp and paper industry (PPI) to present its applicability with real data. A typical packing paper mill mainly produced corrugated paper and linerboard with recycled paper and market pulp. In totally 22 selected energy efficiency measures were applied to assess their energy saving potential. The results showed that the final energy savings could reach to 2,290 TJ annually, corresponding to 29.4% of total energy use in the case mill. The related CO2 emissions reduction potential was 32.3%. This study could provide references for manager or decision makers of paper mill with proper evaluation and information on prioritize energy efficiency improvement options to reduce energy use and carbon emissions further.
