UPM has officially opened a new combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Germany, bringing the company closer to meeting its target to decrease its CO2 emissions by 65% by 2030.

The Euro 100 million investment at its Nordland Papier mill is a major step in that journey – it will reduce CO2 emissions by 300,000 tonnes per year, power the facility and feed surplus power back into the electricity grid, contributing to Germany’s energy security.

The facility in Dörpen, Lower Saxony, is the largest fine and specialty paper manufacturing site in Europe. The highly efficient 84MW gas fired CHP plant has been designed in readiness for hydrogen power, which is expected to play an important role in Germany’s long-term green energy transition. CHP solutions are a promising way for industry to provide energy system flexibility. UPM Nordland Papier can now adjust supply and demand to achieve a balance that benefits production at the mill, while at the same time stabilising grid volatility and providing additional capacity to the public electricity grid.

UPM Nordland Papier is located in Dörpen, Germany. Founded in 1967, the paper mill ranks today among the biggest fine and specialty paper producers in Europe.
