Drvenjača d.d. Pulp Mill — Croatia

Pulp & Paper Mill in Croatia. Approximate location 45.29974, 14.72139.

Pulp & Paper MillCroatiaCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Drvenjača d.d. Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Croatia. Its listed capacity is 21,276 t of pulp & paper. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency. By capacity it ranks #2 among 2 pulp & paper mills in Croatia. It emits about 11,498 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.50% of the CO₂e from the 8 facilities in Croatia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.

In context: how this facility compares

At 21,276 t of pulp & paper, Drvenjača d.d. Pulp Mill is around the median pulp & paper mill in Croatia (21,276 t of pulp & paper). Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency.
