Tervakoski produces paper using 100% renewable energy
delfort is converting its first paper production facility to run entirely on fossil-free energy
delfort is setting new standards for sustainable industrial processes. With the commissioning of the world’s largest steam-generating heat pump and an electrode boiler at its Tervakoski site in Finland, the plant will be able to produce all specialty papers entirely without fossil fuels starting in early 2026.
“This project is an important milestone for us on the path to achieving our net-zero goal, and at the same time helps us support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals,” says Hannes Kinast, COO of delfort.
With the installation of the heat pump as the final step in the decarbonization project for the energy supply at the Finnish site, one of the most modern and highly efficient paper production facilities in the world has been created, where fossil fuels can be completely replaced. With a total investment of over 50 million euros, delfort is reducing energy consumption, eliminating the use of fossil fuels, and enabling the site to achieve net-zero emissions in Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect). The system is a prime example of industrial energy transformation and underscores our significant contribution to climate protection and our innovative lead within the industry in developing responsible and sustainable paper solutions for our customers. The new heat pump utilizes industrial waste heat and supplies steam for paper production.
Our customers benefit from this and also improve their environmental footprint!
