Renewable Energy Power Plant For Paper Mill Starts Up Ahead of Schedule

Jun 4 2009

The new renewable energy power plant at UPM’s Caledonian paper mill in Scotland has started-up successfully one month ahead of schedule.

UPM announced the power plant investment in December 2006 and its construction commenced at the Irvine site in September 2007. The new plant will supply half the mill's electricity needs and all of its process steam requirements.

The project has significantly reduced the carbon footprint of the UPM Caledonian operation by replacing a fossil fuel fired boiler with a modern fully integrated biomass CHP plant. The new boiler will allow CO2 emissions to be reduced by approximately 75,000 tonnes. The project will make a significant contribution to the Scottish Government target to have 50% of all energy consumed to be from renewable sources by 2020.
