Converting residuals into energy
At Varkaus Mill, the consumption of fossil fuels is being greatly reduced now that the gasification of polyethylene from recovered liquid packaging board has commenced. The new gasification plant will generate 900 TJ energy per year, and allow the recovery of aluminium as well as fibre. Preliminary measurements indicate that atmospheric emissions will be low. This process, developed in Varkaus, is the only one of its kind anywhere in the world. The operation concerned, Ecogas, is owned by Corenso, and was set up in 2001.
