Description

A Kawerau paper mill has found a new power source as New Zealand struggles with a looming winter power crunch. 

A newly released briefing to the Minister shows electricity supply is tight, and gas supply needs to be maintained until suitable alternatives are found. 

Essity’s Kawerau Paper Mill has become the first in the world to create a machine that runs entirely on geothermal steam. 

Essity General Manager Mark Stevens told Kerre Woodham that the main area of benefit is sustainability – with the mill producing the same amount of paper with 66% less carbon output.
