Stora Enso has signed a research and development cooperation agreement with Metso and Domtar to establish a consortium to develop a pulp mill biorefinery.
The project, based on the latest pulping technology, aims to develop a pulp production process with enhanced sustainability and cost efficiency, as well as lower investment costs.
"We see promising opportunities for a breakthrough in sustainable chemical pulping technology. The new major innovations will give stronger fibre and improve the pulping yield. The innovations will also enable malodorous gases to be eliminated and increase the energy efficiency of the pulp production process," says Jukka Kilpeläinen, Senior Vice President, Group R&D.
