Objectives 

The goal is to develop radically new production systems that make the best use of resources and are energy-efficient so as to reduce capital intensiveness and improve the entire cluster's efficiency, flexibility and sustainability.

Focus areas

  • Ensure raw material availability in a sustainable way and improve the profitability of forestry.

  • Utilization of modeling and simulation in order to be able to increase the speed of the development of new process concepts.
  • Development of new resource efficient paper production processes that are profitable, sustainable and enabling a range of new products

Projects 

Program consists of a joint research program which is open for all partners and industrial consortium projects. The program portfolio for the first two years includes ten research projects divided into three work packages and three consortium projects.
