Head of Industry
As a paper production entrepreneur, you're facing rising energy prices and the availability of reliable energy infrastructure. At the same time, there's an urgency to reduce your emissions.
The transition to a more sustainable energy source than natural gas becomes inevitable sooner or later. But which energy source should it be? Are you transitioning entirely, partially, or gradually? How do you ensure your continuity? What levies and subsidies are involved? Which optimizations offer the most return?
We provide answers to all these questions. GETEC advises, invests, and takes over the operation and maintenance of the required assets for you.
SERVICES & UTILITIES
Green Gas
A sustainable alternative to natural gas.
Green gas does not require modifications to your existing infrastructure but is limited in availability. GETEC can guarantee the availability of green gas with a digestion facility that converts biomass into green gas. This aligns with the blending obligation that will apply to energy suppliers.
E-Boiler
You can electrify your process, for example, by using an e-boiler. But in this time of grid congestion, is the heavier connection required for this available? Perhaps installing an e-boiler alongside your existing gas boiler in a hybrid system is the solution.
Only during peak moments does the gas boiler kick in; at other times, the e-boiler provides you with sustainable energy.
Reuse of Waste Heat
Reusing waste heat from your assets in the production process is a solution that can often be implemented relatively quickly. GETEC helps you better utilize your installations, and we take care of you by investing in assets and also operating them.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is on the rise. The major advantages of green hydrogen production are minimal emissions and good storage and transportation possibilities. Currently, a national hydrogen network is being developed in the Netherlands, connecting the major industrial clusters in the country. Perhaps producing hydrogen yourself is a profitable option. We are investigating this for you.
Hydrogen Production Provides Oxygen for Water Treatment
During hydrogen production, oxygen and heat are released. This can be applied in wastewater treatment. GETEC can adapt your wastewater treatment plant accordingly, as a result, your paper mill will have its own closed water circuit. Finally, it is also possible to produce green hydrogen through biomass gasification (digestion at high temperatures).
Geothermal Energy
You can also generate heat for your processes using geothermal energy (or ground heat). This involves utilizing the temperature difference between the Earth's surface and heat from the deep underground. We anticipate that this method will be profitable from 2030 onwards.
