Energy use in paper mills accounts for 15 - 30% of overall production costs. Italy's “Paper District of Lucca” as the tissue paper capital - is a key center of the world tissue paper industry with a reputation of continuous innovation. A new trend is to guarantee energy efficiency with gas turbine cogeneration, providing electricity for the mill and heat for the high thermal consumption of the Yankee Hood Drier. The energy savings are just one of the benefits of this innovation.
