The investment will save 69,000 tonnes of annual CO2 emissions, compared with 151,000 tonnes in Scope 1 + 2 emissions in 2022. That figure includes both direct emissions and indirect emissions related to purchased energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis investment is an outstanding example of how we can improve our bottom line while also caring for the environment,\u201d said <strong>Velvet CARE Chief Executive Artur Pielak<\/strong>. \u201cThe new installation will mean we buy significantly less electricity from outside, so we can make the same amount of tissue as we did last year while being responsible for just half the CO2 emissions. Velvet CARE has already slashed emissions and water usage per tonne of output by half since 2013, while increasing tissue production by four times. The factory in Klucze is one of the most modern and efficient in Central Europe. The new power plant will generate 16.7 MW of electricity for the factory, as well as 23.3 MW of heat for the tissue drying process. The initiative is in line with Abris\u2019s investment strategy of environmental, social and governance (ESG) transformation. Poland\u2019s National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management will provide a subsidy of around 50% of the project value,&#8221; the company and the agency said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are happy to be working with Velvet CARE in pursuit of our shared environmental goals,\u201d said <strong>Magdalena Misiurek, Deputy Director of the Department of Energy Transformation at the National Fund<\/strong>. \u201cCogeneration projects for energy and industry are one of the National Fund\u2019s priorities, so we\u2019re pleased to be able to participate in this endeavour.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Velvet CARE, the consumer tissue producer owned by ESG transformation specialist private equity fund Abris Capital Partners, will slash its CO2 emissions by 46% with an investment of $15 million in a gas-fired combined heat and power plant (CHP).
