Paper industry could become more energy-efficient with a new measurement method

The pulp and paper industry consumes large amounts of energy.

In collaboration with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, now present a solution that has great potential to be used throughout the EU.
