The project’s main target is to develop ready-to-implement concepts for reducing specific, direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and for improving the productivity of tissue manufacturing. The project ran from 2012 to 2013 with the support of more than EUR 400 000 from the European Commission’s Sustainable Industry Low Carbon Scheme (SILC). The project has progressed according to plans with encouraging results.
The SLCTM project, carried out in cooperation with engineering office Neumeister, has gathered experimental data from Metsä Tissue’s production units in Finland, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, and Sweden in 2012 and made the thermodynamic analysis in 2013. The final project report with general applicable guidelines will be published this spring.
