This guide developed by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in the U.S discusses energy efficiency practices and energy-efficient technologies that can be implemented at the component, process, facility, and organizational levels of pulp and paper companies. Many measure descriptions include expected savings in energy and energy-related costs, which are based on case study data from real-world applications. Typical payback periods and references to further information in the technical literature are also provided, where available.
