Forest Biorefinery Could Open Door To Bright Future for P&P Industry

摘要

The first part of this series in September issue of PaperAge examined the six platforms of Agenda 2020 and the goals and progress being achieved in each.The second half of this series in this issue looks specifically at the forest biorefinery platform and its promises and progress to date.As shown in Figure 1,the forest biorefinery platform consists of three parts-sustainable forestry,extraction of value from wood prior to pulping,and creation of new value streams from residuals and spent pulping liquors.The discussion below looks specifically at the last two parts of the forest biorefinery platform,examining how today's existing technologies can(and in many cases will)be modified and adapted for use in new and different ways to achieve the many benefits of forest biorefining.
