Innovative Steam Boiler Now Operational
As a responsible operator and trusted supplier, Nouryon is dedicated to minimizing our greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint and energy consumption. To reduce Scope 1 emissions at our sites, our strategy includes continuously improving our environmental performance through equipment upgrades or replacements, design improvements and energy recovery.
At the Nouryon facility in Kvarntorp, Sweden, we recently partnered with Adven, a company that specializes in industrial energy transitions. Adven installed a new steam boiler that relies primarily on locally sourced residual products from the forestry industry, such as chipped branches and tops, to generate the heat required for production processes. The new steam boiler replaces liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) with biofuel, resulting in an anticipated 90% reduction in site Scope 1 carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for Nouryon.
