Creating value from renewable raw materials


Pulp and paper manufacturers have much to gain from investi ng in technologies that use otherwise waste products from their operati ons to create energy. Doctor Marita Niemelä, who works at Valmet’s energy strategy department, explains the company’s approach.


F


inite resources are increasingly becoming a constraint on global development and welfare.


Therefore societi es and industries are being driven to fi nd more eco- effi cient raw materials and sources of energy, as well as to make products and services using more sustainable techniques. Valmet is contributi ng to


resolving these challenges by maximizing the value created from each processed tonne of biomass through improving the

energy and raw material effi ciency of producti on lines. Thereby, it is creati ng sustainable results and supporti ng customers in moving its performance forward. The company is fi rmly committ ed to advancing its customers’ success.


Building on sound foundati ons Valmet’s raw material focus is on non-food woody biomass, recycled paper, agricultural residues, purposely-grown sustainable energy crops and combusti ble

When developing new technologies, Valmet is reliant upon its world-class experti se in the handling and processing of biomass on a commercial scale and providing customers with additi onal revenue streams from their existi ng processes.
