In partnership with ENGIE, the coal-fired boiler at Rouen mill is being replaced with a new biomass boiler, which will supply around 80% of the heat demand and is anticipated to be operational by 2025/26. It is expected that the boiler will be fuelled by around 30% plant by-products (pulper waste) and 70% waste wood from sources such as furniture and demolition waste. The project was granted approval by the Regional Biomass Scheme in 2022 and is supported by local authorities including a €15 million subsidy from the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME). It is anticipated that by 2025/26, this will save around 99,000 tonnes CO2e per year. Find out more about our carbon reduction plans in our Sustainability Report 2024. https://ow.ly/piGW50SAjnv
