Large CHP plants in pulp and paper industry

Power plants operated according to steam demand of
the paper machine or pulp mill
Electricity produced by back-pressure steam turbine
Total efficiency = (electricity + heat) / fuel energy > 80%
Fuels:

Mills own side products

(bark, rejects, sludge)
Forest fuels from companys
own wood collection
Additional fuels purchased
to cover the demand

Nordic Countries:
peat, coal + oil/gas as back-up
Central Europe: mainly gas
