How does cutting carbon make headlines?

UPM Plattling
Pulp & paper
Their challenge
In Plattling, Bavaria, UPM produce up to 790,000 tons of magazine papers per year. Their highly efficient paper machines run 24/7, 365 days a year, requiring huge amounts of energy, both electricity and steam. They wanted to set up their own energy supply to reduce carbon emissions and maximise their efficiency onsite.
Extraordinary thinking
By closely collaborating with UPM Plattling, we were able to design a bespoke energy solution to meet their needs. We knew that UPM needed a solution that responded to fluctuating demands for power and steam, so we designed a power plant where we could customise its performance.
Imaginative solutions
The solution we implemented for UPM was a highly efficient combined cycle gas turbine power plant. The plant is very flexible and converts excess steam from the paper-making process into electricity.
The difference
With the new combined cycle gas turbine and back-up boilers, UPM benefits from a secure energy supply with a steam availability of nearly 100%. Thanks to the increased energy efficiency of the solution, their fuel efficiency exceeds the regulatory standards by far with a reduction in carbon emissions of 270,000 tons per year.
Success stories
Can you lose 200 tonnes of CO2 through smarter energy controls?

We worked with Marks & Spencer to achieve 34% energy savings across 550 stores – helping them save money and reach their ambitious carbon reduction targets in the process.
Can you make ice cream out of rubber?

We will turn wasted heat into spending power for Deutsche Gasrußwerke and help neighbouring companies to benefit from low-cost energy.
Can a data centre be used to power an entire community?

We partnered with Binero Group AB to develop a unique and sustainable data centre that provides our customers in Vallentuna with one third of the town’s district heating needs.
