36 Emerging Technologies for Energyefficiency and GHG Emissions Reduction in the Pulp and Paper Industry

The pulp and paper industry accounted for approximately 5 percent of total industrial final energy consumption and 2 percent of direct carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the industrial sector worldwide (IEA 2011) The largest share of this growth will take place in China, India, and other developing countries (see Figure below) Innovations will likely include development of different processes and materials for paper production or technologies that can economically capture and store the industrys CO2 emissions.
