Renewed offering for tomorrow’s forest

On 1 February, Södra will launch a new package of forestry services. The new services will facilitate forest ownership and present opportunities to improve the profitability of members’ forest estates. The new package includes a financial advisory service and improved digital services.

The new package will be launched on 1 February and includes an advisory service to facilitate ownership transfers, as well as cash flow analysis and property valuation services.  The forest estate agreement is a new service for forest owners who seek secure, profitable and professional management for their entire estate. “This is a comprehensive package of services, designed to meet the needs of Södra’s members. The requirements of forest owners – as well as technological solutions – change over time, and these new services represent a major step forward toward a new and improved member offering. The aim is to make active and profitable forestry easier,” says Håkan Larsson, President of the Södra Skog business area.

Digital advancement in forestryDigital advancement brings new opportunities for forestry, and Södra has continued to develop new digital services for forest owners. By being able to follow business in real time, receive advice digitally from a forest inspector and renew digital forest management plans online, forestry becomes more efficient. “We are now launching more and more digital services, which are a key complement to face-to-face meetings. Technology is helping us to produce better decision-making resources for our members’ forestry, and to keep this information continuously accessible and up-to-date,” says Örjan Vorrei, IT Manager at Södra Skog.

Long-term sales with a focus on millsSödra is also strengthening its thinning offering by introducing a thinning premium of SEK 25/m³sub.”We hope this initiative will raise awareness of the benefits of timely and correctly performed thinning,” says Håkan Larsson. “We are investing heavily in our pulp mills, which will generate sales for thinning wood for a long time to come. The fibre properties of thinning wood are particularly suitable for hygienic tissue paper, for example, a segment in which we see strong customer demand.”

Siemens launches digital decarbonization tool at Climate Week NYC

Siemens Financial Services launched the Decarbonization Business Optimizer (DBO™), a cloud-based tool created to help address the overwhelming complexity of decarbonizing buildings and the financing needed to get to net-zero emissions. The DBO is a free, digital web tool that removes the initial knowledge barrier and uncovers more efficient strategies to help decarbonize a company’s facilities. The scenario modeling and optimization tool aggregates and leverages data from relevant governmental agencies including the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). “Companies, specifically those in the supply chain, are increasingly asked to report their carbon footprint to their customers -- yet many do not know where to begin,” said Anthony Casciano, President and CEO of Siemens Financial Services, Inc. “The DBO addresses these barriers by taking action and puts companies of all sizes, and at all stages, in a better position to create long-term value, accelerating participation in the transition to net-zero emissions.”

Resolute Continues to Lead in Reducing Carbon Emissions

Resolute Forest Products Inc. announced that it, along with Serres Toundra Inc, has entered into a definitive agreement with CO2 Solutions Inc. to deploy leading enzyme-enabled carbon capture technology at Resolute's Saint-Félicien pulp mill. The C$7.4 million project involves the capture of up to 30 metric tons of CO2/day (tpd) from Resolute's softwood kraft pulp mill, the majority of the CO2 being transported to Serres Toundra's neighboring world-class vegetable greenhouse. By improving the performance of the greenhouse, while at the same time reducing the carbon emissions of the pulp mill, the reuse of the captured CO2 will provide tangible benefits to both Resolute and Serres Toundra. "We are pleased to host this innovative, first-of-its-kind project in the pulp and paper industry," stated Richard Garneau, president and chief executive officer of Resolute Forest Products. "Through our participation, we will reduce the carbon emissions from our Saint-Félicien mill, as well as support the scale-up of a low-cost carbon capture technology with the potential for broader deployment."
