SCA公司表示将在位于瑞典北部Pitea市的Munksund纸厂新建以生物质为燃料的石灰窑,投资额约为4.9亿瑞典克朗,预计于2014年秋季投入使用。新石灰窑将代替该厂原有的燃油石灰窑,这样Munksund厂每年除了可以降低约5千万瑞典克朗的生产成本外,CO2排放量还将减少75%。SCA林产品负责人Ulf Larsson说:“我们在Timra的Ostrand浆厂已经研发出以木质颗粒替代燃油作为燃料用于先进装备如石灰窑的技术,这些成功经验可用在Munksund纸厂的项目建设上。” SCA said it will build a biomass-fired limestone kiln at a Munksund mill in Pitea, northern Sweden, with an investment of about 490 million Swedish kronor and is expected to be operational in the fall of 2014. The new lime kiln will replace the plant’s existing fuel lime kiln, so that Munksund will reduce its CO2 emissions by 75% in addition to the annual production cost of SEK 50 million. Ulf Larsson, head of forest products at SCA, said: “We at Orand Mills in Timra have developed technologies that use wood pellets as a fuel instead of fuel for advanced equipment such as lime kilns that can be used for project construction at the Munksund mill . ”
