Pulp and Paper Producers continue to Go Green

from Wood Resource Quarterly-
The global pulp and paper industry has substantially increased its use of woody biomass for energy the past few years, which has consequently reduced dependence on fossil fuels, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly. Since 2006, energy generated from biomass has gone up over 50%, last year accounting for 18% of the total energy consumption by this industry sector. Pulp and paper manufacturers worldwide consumed 75 million tons of woody biomass for energy in 2009.
