Forest Products
Purchased energy remains the third largest manufacturing cost for the forest products industry–despite its extensive use of highly efficient co-generation technology. The industry has worked with AMO to develop a range of resources for further improving energy efficiency.
Some current R&D projects and Energy Management resources will benefit the forest products industry.
