Södra Cell – Mönsterås Network

The forestry and wood processing company Södra Cell Mönsterås is one of the world’s largest producers of softwood pulp. Approximately 50% of the wood it processes is converted in heating and electricity. One objective of the company is to replace all fossil fuels in its mill by implementing energy efficiency schemes and developing its renewable energy production. Part of the energy produced is directly used in situ to feed its industrial processes. But the production of heat and electricity largely exceeds its needs, so that Södra Cell also provides district heating for the municipality of Mönsterås and injects electricity in the public grid. Exchanges of energy and materials (including wastes and by-products) are established between the 3 facilities implanted in the Mönsterås production site, including a pulp mill, a sawmill and a wood pellet production plant. However, very little detailed information is available concerning these exchanges.
