ICFPA
• The organization of the world's forest and
paper industry associations
• 19 members from all over the world
representing 90% of global pulp and
paper capacity and 50% of woodworking
capacity
• A forum of global dialogue, coordination
and cooperation
• Today speaking for the pulp and paper
industry.
ICFPA and Climate change
• The global forest products industry is strongly
committed to meeting the challenges of climate
change.
• Trees, wood and paper products are uniquely
renewable and recyclable resources that help
reduce greenhouse gasses by storing CO2 from
the atmosphere.
• Fibre from sustainably managed forests makes a
positive contribution to the world’s future energy
supply.
• The industry is committed to innovative energy
solutions that will increase efficiency, reduce
reliance on fossil fuel and expand the use of
renewable energy sources.
The sector in summary
• The global pulp and paper industry consists of
about 5000 pulp and paper mills.
• Although there are many international and
global companies, a large part of the sector is
also made up of medium and smaller
enterprises.
• Pulp and paper are made around the world
and there is an active global trade both in
resources and final products. It is a globally
competing sector.
• Pulp and paper are umbrella words for many
different products and “grades”, from business
to business to direct consumer products.

Energy in pulp and paper production
IEA key findings in tracking
• The pulp, paper and printing industry
consumed 6.45 EJ of final energy in
2004, accounting for 5.7% of total
industry energy use. Printing
represents a small share of the
industry's energy demand.
• In pulp and paper production, the
industry generates about half of its
own energy needs from biomass
residues and makes extensive use of
combined heat and power (CHP)
technology,
IEA key findings in tracking (2)
• There are notable differences in energy
use for pulp and paper production
between countries, due to a range of
factors such as product mix, processes
used, plant size, technology, technical
age, feedstock quality, fuel prices and
management attention to energy
efficiency.
IEA key findings in tracking (3)
• Energy efficiency gains can be
achieved if existing mills are retrofitted
with current energy efficient
technology, but investment costs and
competitiveness are key determinants.
• There is potential for more use of heat
recovery. Putting excess heat to use in
a more effective way could provide
savings, but the economic viability
depends on the need for low grade
heat.
IEA key findings in tracking (4)
• Increased paper recycling and
recovered paper use could help
reduce energy consumption in the
industry.
• While Europe, Japan and Korea
appear to be close to the practical
limits for paper recycling, North
America and parts of Asia could
benefit from more effective policies on
waste disposal to encourage higher
On the IEA methodology
• An indicator method is developed in this
study that compares a theoretical sector
energy use if best available technology
(BAT) were applied with actual energy use
according to IEA statistics.
• The method discerns energy use for
mechanical and chemical pulp, pulp from
recovered paper and various paper qualities.
These indicators are suited to identify areas
where further analysis is warranted.
• This indicators analysis raises a number of
issues concerning data quality which
requires further discussion on the availability,
quality and consistency of data across
countries.
But a firm conclusion
• Based on country comparisons, the
remaining energy efficiency potential in the
pulp and paper industry is estimated to be
1.0 EJ per year of final energy, or 1.3 to 1.5
EJ in primary energy terms, depending on
the efficiency for power and steam
generation.
• If higher recycling rates and CHP were also
considered, the total final savings potential
would be 2.1 to 2.4 EJ of final energy per
year.

Feedback (1)
• IEA has done a tremendous effort and
groundbraking work. Our
compliments.
but
• These seem to be huge and important
conclusions compared to the issues
remaining in the methodology and
data collection.
Speaking the same language
• IEA statistics still do not match the definitions
and categories of the international pulp and
paper industry federations, or for example the
EU ETS.
• A crucial issue is the treatment of CHP in the
statistics. Also printing should be removed, or we
should go down one statistical class.
• We have now worked on global definitions of
energy use in the Pulp and paper industry (IEA
Paprican project), so that industry speaks the
same language.
• But that does not mean the same language as
An outlook to the future
• The global pulp and paper industry
within the forest based sector cluster
can be a solution in climate change
mitigation.
• Carbon storage in forests and carbon
storage in products are, combined
with paper recycling and energy
efficiency, attributes that can take us
there.
• A strong effort is needed, indeed, but
the industry can be the enabler for
Improving performance by technology
• Installing latest technology and
improving efficiency is a continous
target and process.
• The investment climate determines
progress, as the industry depends on
major investments in long investment
cycles.
• The technology race for technologies
like black liquor gassification or
biorefineries is not run yet. Let alone for
CCS.
• The step from lab to demo to full scale
Feedback 2
• Todays workshop with estimates on
tracking industrial emissions and
future scenarios for emissions might
be a bit premature.
• Both methodology and data collection
still need work, before we in turn can
assess the estimates of IEA in a
proper way.
• Also energy data have a clear
competition law element and global
management needs to be organised.
Summary
• We clearly recognise the urgent need
and challenges.
• We need a joint industry and
government approach to jump the
hurdles described.
• But that is not the debate if there will
be CCS by 2015, but on how to bring
5000 companies together in a single
approach.
• We look forward to this debate.
