The investment includes upgrading the recovery boiler and its flue gas
cleaning system with the best available technology. In addition a new
evaporation unit will be built to improve energy efficiency at the
mill. This will lead to a substantial reduction in consumption of
fossil oil and external biofuels. The goal is to strengthen the mill
for the future by improving environmental performance and energy
efficiency as well as enabling future expansion.
Billerud has for some years also projected the outlook for the world's
largest pyrolysis facility at Skärblacka paper mill. The project is
based on producing green oil from wood raw material such as branches,
tops and stumps in a full-scale facility at the Skärblacka paper mill.
The project intends to establish the technical and market prerequisites
for lignocellulose-based pyrolysis products, biofuel, as a replacement
for fossil-based oil. The green oil can then be turned into renewable
energy in customers’ facilities which would be a totally new type of
commercial energy carrier.
