From fossil dependence to hybrid low-carbon steam: resilient, flexible, and future-proof
Steam is at the core of the papermaking process, but traditional gas-fired systems are increasingly challenged by decarbonisation goals and energy market volatility. This project demonstrates how hybridisation and electrification of thermal processes can unlock operational flexibility and accelerate the energy transition for industry.
Client needs
Ensure reliable steam supply for continuous industrial operations
Reduce CO₂ emissions to meet decarbonisation targets
Increase energy cost resilience through flexibility and hybridisation
Energy Pool outputs
A two-step project approach for effective transformation:
Step 1: Feasibility Study – Steam Decarbonisation Strategy
Evaluate three scenarios:
Full electrification
Hybridisation (gas + e-boiler)
Hybridisation with thermal energy storage
Technical analysis: sizing of e-boiler, grid connection constraints, storage capacity
Financial modelling: CAPEX, OPEX, potential subsidies
Revenue estimation from flexibility markets
Step 2: Project Development Assistance
Engineering design for selected solution (e-boiler + thermal storage)
Support in tendering & contracting with equipment and service providers
Assistance in securing project financing and energy contracting
Integration into flexibility markets to generate additional revenues
