Technology Brief	At the Norske Skog Golbey plant in France, they are converting some of their production from paper to corrugated board. At the same time, AET is building a biomass and waste-fired CHP plant for GVE, a joint venture between Pearl Infrastructure Capital, Veolia and Norske Skog Golbey. When complete, the CHP plant will provide renewable energy for the new production line and power to the national grid. This project also gives Norske Skog Golbey the opportunity to: take advantage of local green fuels and replace natural gas create local use for wood waste and on-site paper sludge, which will be converted into green energy strengthen Norske Skog's competitiveness and preserve on-site jobs. The combined heat and power plant will be the largest on renewable fuels in France and will produce: 200 GWh/year green electricity (=13,000 homes) 700 GWh/year green steam for the Norske Skog Golbey paper mill. In addition, the CHP plant contributes to the global project's green profile with a highly efficient AET Biomass boiler and a high-performance turbine, as well as an ORC plant for valorization of waste heat in the flue gas. The design of the CHP plant is based on several operating scenarios in line with the paper mill's steam requirements and with a typical plant efficiency range of 75-88%. Construction on the site began in Q3-2022, and the project is expected to enter commercial operation in Q3-2024.
