The following presentation discusses oxy-fuel combustion for the Pulp & Paper sector, specifically for the power and recovery boiler systems in a typical kraft mill. The primary objective is to produce a purified CO2 stream that is suitable for transportation and/or utilization to achieve net-zero or negative emissions. The presentation considers and discusses the pros and cons of oxy-fuel combustion in terms of boiler operation, flue gas treatment, and performance changes. Key observations on oxy-fuel combustion are discussed, including operation mode, effects of O2 concentration, and operating pressure, with a comparison to air-fired benchmarks with and without post-combustion amine capture. Major knowledge gaps are defined to deploy oxy-fuel combustion systems, including potential next steps using models and machine learning tools (TEA and LCA) being developed as part of the National CCUS Assessment Framework.

Lime kilns are an important unit operation in the kraft pulp mill, part of the recausticing cycle essential for making pulp. Oxy-firing is a potential retrofit for the lime kiln to produce a sequesterable CO2 stream without negative impact on the lime quality. We look at the effect of switching from air-firing to oxy-firing with recycle on combustion, heat transfer, and calcination. We summarize the relevant work done in Europe for the cement kiln and its implications for the lime kiln.

The tissue dust and lint tester developed by FPInnovations is now available to tissue makers as a testing service for product quality monitoring and performance benchmarking. The dust and lint tester can also be used for measuring surface strength on paper towel and wipes. This testing service, combined with other tissue testing capabilities at FPInnovations can help tissue makers identify the causes of high tissue dusting and linting tendency.

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 1 Video 2.
This workshop presentation by Dr. Robin Hughs will provide an overview of CO2 capture using adsorption. These technologies promise to substantially reduce the costs of CO2, lower thermal energy requirements and permit flexible operation to meet the demands of complex and variable operations. The presentation begins with a simple explanation of how adsorption based technologies work, presents flowsheets for implementation, and identifies elements that should be considered if the technologies are to be deployed at pulp and paper mills.

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 1 Video 1, a presentation by Professor Naoko Ellis
The targets set at COP26 in Glasgow call for urgent action around the world to alleviate the disastrous impact of climate emergency. Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is unanimously recognized around the world, at international and national levels, as a key pillar necessary to achieve net-zero emissions alongside energy efficiency, electrification, hydrogen and biomass. CCUS can reduce emissions from a broad range of processes, and can also compensate those emissions in hard-to-abate and hard-to-electrify processes with negative emissions through bio-energy Carbon Capture and Sequestration (BECCS). The high-level overview of the CCUS in BC will provide a framework on how to consider CCUS and some contextual issues associated with CCUS in BC

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 3 Video 3, a presentation by Dr. Paitoon Tontiwachwuthiku
This seminar presentation will overview the current progress and new developments of carbon capture technologies, especially the ones using reactive solvents, which can be used now and in the immediate future. The presentation will also discuss some case studies of CCUS projects in the US and Canada over the past 20 years. The potential implications of these new R&D results will be described, and their impacts on the pulp & paper industry will be discussed.

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 2 Video 1, a presentation by Malcom Wilson
Brief overview of the storage of carbon dioxide in the form or carbon as well as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can be captured more or less easily, albeit at a cost, from any process that releases carbon dioxide from the chemical processes underway. This includes fossil fuel and biomass combustion and cement production. Once captured, it must be transported to a storage location. Western Canada is a good place to store CO2. Many aspects of the nature of our geology make us a first-class storage location – much of Alberta, southern Saskatchewan and northeastern British Columbia, although central BC has some potential. A second way of very long term storage is the use of biochar (essentially pure carbon) mixed into soil. Mixed in the soil, literature suggests a half-life of at least 550 years. Depending on soil type, the biochar has numerous benefits to the soil. The porous nature of the biochar is a good substrate for beneficial micro-organisms in the soil, it holds water reducing the wilt index for plants, it can help reduce N2O emissions, store nitrogen (reducing fertilizer requirements), extract contaminants and reduce soil density in more clayey soils. As a secondary area of interest, biochar mixed with compost is a good way to move the fertilizer to the soil. Biochar can also be used as animal feed to improve growth and reduce methane emissions.

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 2 Video 2, a presentation by Dr. Andrew McFarlan
Various technical pathways are possible that could decarbonize pulp and paper production. These pathways may allow the pulp and paper industry to achieve negative CO2 emissions, via Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). This presentation highlights R&D achievements, both past and recent, on some of the pathways being considered, with an emphasis on techno-economics.

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 2, Video 3, a presentation by Philippe Navarri
The urgency of climate change mitigation and the increased interest in circular economy are driving interest in opportunities to capture CO2 from industrial sites or the atmosphere for sequestration or the development of sustainable products. It is now well admitted that carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is an essential option to achieve our 2050 net-zero emissions objectives. Because the majority of CO2 emissions in pulp and paper mills is biogenic, capturing this CO2 is considered a net CO2 removal from the atmosphere. Therefore, the pulp and sector can play a critical role in helping Canada achieve its net-zero emission objective. Although CCS has the potential to deliver much larger CO2 emissions reductions, CCU is expected to play a critical role where there is limited storage capacity, in decarbonizing of hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation and maritime transportation, and in the production of "greener" products as an alternative option to replace products that would otherwise be fossil-based. A wide range of CO2 utilization technologies exist to produce a variety of value-added products including chemicals, fuels, polymers and construction materials that are often seen as a new revenue stream for the industry. In this webinar, a review of CO2 utilization opportunities to produce value-added "green" products (e.g. alcohols, fuels etc.) will be presented, their attractiveness assessed, and key aspects to consider for their implementation will be discussed.
