Net-Man......indeed. The opportunities for QL and FASCM appear to be expanding exponentially.
On a separate note......was scanning through the SCA Annual Report for a bit yesterday. I think you may have mentioned this before, but SCA was 50% owner of Aylesford Newsprint, which originally housed the WRAP KDS project in the U.K.
In other words, another KDS project that has circled back from a prior project.
Here was an interesting piece I pulled out of that SCA Report.....page 63
We will reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and from purchased electricity and heating by 20% by 2020, with 2005 as reference year. Outcome: At year-end 2012, CO2 emission had been reduced by 10.4% in relation to output. We will triple our production of biofuels from the forests by 2020, with 2010 as reference year. Outcome: SCA’s production of biofuel from its own forests amounted to 890 GWh. (870 in the reference year 2010).
The production of wind power on SCA forest land will increase to 5 TWh by 2020. Outcome: 0.4 TWh of wind energy was delivered to the grid. The first turbines in the partnership with Statkraft were installed.
Fiber sourcing & biodiversity
We will achieve and maintain our target of zero fresh fiber-based material, including pulp and containerboard, from controversial sources*. Outcome: All deliveries of pulp to SCA’s facilities meet the requirements of the Group target. All of SCA’s wood-consuming units were reviewed by independent auditors and meet the requirements of the Group target.
We will preserve the biodiversity of our forests. A minimum of 5% of our productive land will be set aside from forestry in our ecological landscape plans and a further 5% will be set aside as part of our consideration for nature in our managed forests.
Outcome: Nearly 7% of SCA’s productive forested area was excluded from harvesting. In addition, 12% of forest area planned for harvesting was set aside for preservation.
Water
We aim to achieve water sustainability and we will reduce our water consumption in waterstressed regions by 10% by 2015, with 2010 as reference year.
Outcome: At year-end 2012, water consumption in water-stressed regions had fallen by 3.4%.
All SCA pulp and paper mills will employ mechanical and biological wastewater treatment plants by 2015.
Outcome: Of the Group’s 40 pulp and paper mills, mechanical and biological wastewater treatment is installed, or is in the process of being installed, at 39 facilities.
Net-Man.......here is some more interesting background on what the QL thought process was for their palm pellet technology, which includes the KDS.......I dont recall seeing this before...
And then there is this lengthy CDM validation report, which identifies the changes that were made in the QL Palm pellet registration process from 2011 to 2012. Tremendous amount of work was obviouusly put into this project. It specifically identifies the 3 KDS on page 8 below, under Technical Project Description......
The project activity is to convert EFB biomass waste generated by the palm oil mill into a renewable SB pellet through mechanical and thermal process. The project has the capacity of converting 80,000t/y of EFB into 31,250t/y of SB pellets. The technical key data are provided in table 2-4 below
