Energy Consumption During Production
| Type of Paper | Pulp Paper | GaiaKraft Paper |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity Consumption (a) | 780 x 2450 = 1911 x 103Kcal/TP (based on a requirement of 780KWH/TP) |
720 x 2450 = 1764 x 103Kcal/TP (based on a requirement of 720KWH/TP) |
| Steam Consumption (b) | 2.5 x 655 x 1000 = 1638 x 103Kcal/TP (based on a requirement of 2.5T/TP) |
Not required |
| Total Energy Consumption (a+b = a) |
(1911 x 103) + (1638 x 103) = 3549 x 103 Kcal/TP |
720 x 2450 = 1764 x 103Kcal/TP |
Electricity to Energy Conversion = 2450 Kcal/KWH Steam to Energy Conversion = 655 Kcal/KWH
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Release Comparison
| Stage | Pulp Paper | GaiaKraft Paper | Synthetic Paper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Production | 1344 kg/TP | 676 kg/TP | 668 kg/TP |
| Incineration | 1392 kg/TP | 980 kg/TP | 2602 kg/TP |
Conversion Factors: Typically 1000 KWH will release 940kg CO2 Typically to produce 1000 KWH will require 2450 x 10 3 Kcal
Therefore 384 kg CO2 is produced from 1000 x10 3 Kcal.
