Energy Analysis
 |
The Industrial Technologies Program regularly conducts analytic studies to identify energy efficiency opportunities. In forest products, the Industrial Technologies Program has conducted several analytical studies, including:
Pulp and Paper Industry Energy Bandwidth Study 
Provides energy estimates for the following four cases: current average mill energy consumption, state-of-the-art art mill energy consumption, mill energy consumption if advanced technologies requiring further R&D were employed, and theoretical minimum mill energy consumption.
