Our pulp and paperboard mill in Iggesund has long been almost entirely powered by fossil-free energy. It efficiently uses wood raw material to produce paperboard and uses the residual raw material lignin as energy in the process. By using the whole tree, the mill is able to produce renewable energy in the form of steam, which is used both in the drying process of paperboard and pulp and to produce electricity.

The target level for biofuel is 98.8%, but now the mill has demonstrated further capacity to become a completely fossil-free production facility with a result of over 99.5% in the summer months.
“The biofuel results from the summer, exceeding 99%, reduce the carbon footprint of Invercote even further, something we know is very important to all our customers. It’s also a signal that we are on the right track, but we are not done yet,” says Johan Granås, Head of Sustainability, Holmen Board and Paper.
