In 1999, the government tested a new concept to increase energy efficiency in industry. The main focus was efficiency in core industrial processes. The programme was designed to detect the energy influence of using different raw materials singly or in combination. The philosophy behind the programme was to increase energy efficiency, reduce the cost of raw materials (feedstock), increase output in production and increase competitiveness in the industry. Pilot projects were carried out in companies that produce: - Non-ECSC ferro-alloys and pulp. - Paper and paperboard.
