Industrial Process Heat Case Study: Waste-to-Energy for the production of steam for paper production
Oct 2020In order to reduce its dependence on oil and electric power, Nordic Paper decided to start their own energy production with municipal waste as fuel. The reason was mainly economic in a time with volatile energy prices around 2005–2008. For this reason, Åmotfors Energi was founded with the main purpose to provide the paper […]
