FisherSolve® database shows which paper mills have the lowest carbon emissions

Are you looking for a comparison tool to screen for the industry leaders and lower the carbon emissions from your paper purchasing? The material you can download here below is a good place to start. We at Holmen subscribe to the FisherSolve® database, and therefore we are allowed to share our mill emission benchmarks in general comparisons to others. 

Every column bar in the charts represents a paper mill's emission benchmark per tonne of paper they produce. And all paper mills that produce more than 50 tonnes of paper per day are represented.

With access to all data, it's very easy to compare the CO₂e emissions per tonne of paper produced at a mill to other mills or to the industry average. Every column bar in the charts represents a paper mill's emission benchmark per tonne of paper they produce, and data is collected from all large mills in the world.

A sneak peek at our data

Get a sneak peak at the data from Holmen's two paper mills, that we can share, and have a closer look at the difference between European paper mills in our mill emission summary overview. Use the link further down on this page.

Some interesting facts from the material you can download here below:

• The mill with the highest emission benchmark releases 21 times more CO₂e per tonne of paper compared to the lowest emitter.
• When comparing mill benchmarks in Europe the best paper mill releases around 900 kg less CO₂e per tonne of paper compared to the average paper mill.
• It's no news that fossil fuel combustion and raw material transport and handling differs a lot between the mills, but it may be a surprise to see how much of a difference they stand for.
