Abstract

The pulp and paper industry is the fourth largest industrial energy user globally and presents significant carbon removal potential as a large portion of emissions from this industry are biogenic. The decarbonization potential of this industry has been discussed in literature at country levels primarily focused on regions which are rich in biomass. However regional variability aspects and stand-alone paper mills sector is underexplored in the literature. The analysis, results and insights presented in this study provides important insights to policymakers to access the carbon removal potential and associated costs of PPI. A road map for developing strategies for the decarbonization of PPI can be developed based on the insights provided in this study.
