Sofidel’s Delipapier Frouard starts operation at new biomass plant in France

Feb 27, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Sofidel’s French subsidiary, Delipapier Frouard, starts operation of new biomass plant. The overall investment for the plant was approximately Euro 6.5 million, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

The plant is used to produce thermal energy in the form of saturated steam and provide approximately 60% of the plant’s overall need; it has a power of 9.24 MW and is powered by a mixture of wood chip (approximately 80% of the entire fuel supply) and spent wood.

This is yet another important step forward in Delipapier’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gases, with the aim of cutting over 6,800,000 cubic metres of gas and reducing CO2 emissions by over 13,500 tonnes annually.

Delipapier is a member of Sofidel Group, the second largest tissue paper manufacturer in Europe.

The Italian Sofidel Group is one of the leading European manufacturers of paper for hygiene and domestic use.
