According to the goal of Metsä Tissue, part of Metsä Group, to develop its Future Mill-concept, the company will aim to have fossil free mill fleet by 2030 and accordingly it has stopped using coal as an energy source in its Kreuzau’s mill. Since September 2023 the Kreuzau mill has been replacing the use of fossil-based lignite by wood pellets in the mills heat production.
Currently tissue paper production process creates annual emissions of 90,000 t CO2 and by implementing wood pellets instead of lignite, fossil-based CO2 emissions will be reduced by 60,000 t per year, meaning over 30 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions yearly in Metsä Tissue. Through this change Metsä Tissue’s Kreuzau mill compares favorably also with the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) benchmark as the emission level at Kreuzau mill will be 200 kg CO2/t tissue paper compared to 340 kg CO2/t tissue paper.
