EISER-Energy Integration and Symbiosis for Enhanced Resilience

EISER aims to develop innovative solutions that enhance the energy- and resource efficiency, and resilience of the pulp and paper industry. By integrating technological development, system integration, and industrial symbiosis, the project delivers practical methods and tools that support companies in making long‑term, sustainable decisions. The overarching objective is to reduce energy and water consumption, strengthen local resilience, and create new value at the intersection of industry and society.

EISER addresses key challenges in the pulp and paper industry by reducing energy and water use, increasing the utilization of waste heat, and strengthening industrial resilience. Using an integrated methodology that combines advanced analysis, system modelling, pilot development, and real‑world case studies in Sweden, Italy, and Austria, the project develops practical solutions within energy‑efficient processes, the water–energy nexus, and industrial symbiosis—enabling sustainable innovation, new collaborations, and long‑term value creation for both industry and society.
