Energy Efficiency Requires a Comprehensive Approach, Paper360º May/June 2025

Pulp and paper manufacturing continues to be a cornerstone of the global industry, yet it remains one of the most energyintensive sectors, second only to chemicals. As author Dick Reese notes on page 14, energy expenses can account for 10-40 percent of total manufacturing costs. These high demands underscore the crucial need for energy efficiency to maintain profitability.

Technological advancements, process improvements, and reductions in water usage have collectively driven a measurable decline in overall energy consumption over the past decade. However, with increasing regulatory pressures and the growing emphasis on sustainability, pulp and paper manufacturers must continue seeking innovative solutions to reduce energy use and costs.
