Abstract
Energy conservation has been alive and well in the pulp and paper industry for many years. In the early 70s and 80s, each paper mill or organization worked independently to reduce their total energy consumption. Now in the 1990s, federal and state legislation (i.e. State of Minnesota Omnibus Energy Bill) make it advantageous for pulp and paper mills to share information and strategies to take advantage of electrical utility rebates. This paper presents four examples of energy conservation programs currently in use in the US paper industry
