The paper and wood products industry is a significant contributor of renewable energy, producing more carbon-beneficial biomass energy than any other industrial sector. We produce our biomass energy by efficiently using leftover materials in the manufacturing process, 如树皮和液体生物质.
The sustainable use of biomass energy to power paper mills reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Our use of biomass energy prevents about 181 million metric tons of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere each year. That’s roughly equal to removing 35 million cars from the road.
纸 and wood products manufacturers are also leaders in using highly efficient combined heat and power (CHP) technology. In 2020, 99% of electricity produced by the industry was CHP-generated.

十大菠菜软件 and its members are working with the Administration, 国会, states and other stakeholders to achieve a sustainable path forward.
尽管废气排放大幅改善, implementation of the Clean 空气 Act could impose even stricter requirements and new investment obligations over the next 10 years. 除非精心设计, the combined financial hardship of these regulations on the industry could have unintended consequences.
We support policies that recognize the significant air quality improvements the industry has already achieved. And we support policies that use realistic data and modeling tools and achieve cost-effective outcomes.
We’re also working with EPA and states on sustainable water quality criteria.
We look forward to continuing our work with the EPA as we further the sustainability of our water and air resources, 以及电子竞技赌注的软件的行业.
纸 and wood products manufacturers make products that meet essential needs. We're investing in new technologies and making new capital expenditures over the next decade.
Sensible regulation is an important part of responsible manufacturing. 然而, poorly designed regulations can cause more harm than good by slowing down innovation, 增长, 投资和创造就业.
