Effisludge – For a sustainable, energy efficient pulp and paper industry

For a sustainable and energy efficient pulp and paper industry.

An ambition plan to optimise onsite wastewater treatment by enhancing biosludge production while reducing energy demand. Supported by the European programme LIFE, EffiSludge for LIFE works towards a future where European pulp and paper mills are the core of a new green economy.

Thanks for a great web conference! More than 65 participants from all around the globe including Canada, Brazil, Indian and a number of EU countries. Special thanks to @LIFEprogramme @EffiSludge @IbbaWorkshop #Industrialsymbiosis #biogas #pulpandpaper #carbonfootprint https://t.co/cyZhwkEurZ

“#Biogas solutions connect parts of systems creating mulitifunctional solutions and are inherently symbiotic” @matseklundliu BRC, Sweden https://t.co/0waR2A26FL

“Reducing carbon emissions from an industrial #wastewater treatment is possible. Options for #pulpandpaper mills are: to work upstream, to optimize operation, to use more efficient equipment or to change the overall process” Xu-Bin Truong, Sweden https://t.co/Lsec24TSUh

“Pulp and paper mills are often surrounded by great infrastructures. This is an advantage for the sector to rapidly develop #industrialsymbiosis solutions where #biogas plays a key role” Magnus Johanson – Fiskeby Board, Sweden https://t.co/cfpaj6eiZx

We are live!! The #EffiSludge Web Conference is now started https://t.co/glwYVYuE6i

”The pulp and paper manufacturing sector is energy and raw materials intensive, with high capital costs and long investment cycles. The industry has an excellent track record in resource efficiency and innovation. It is a pioneer in making the EU low-carbon bioeconomy an industrial reality.”
