Ilim Group - Ilim East - Bratsk Branch

Pulp & Paper Mill in Russian Federation. Approximate location 56.12646, 101.60594.

Pulp & Paper MillRussian FederationCO₂ not individually reported

Ilim Group - Ilim East - Bratsk Branch is a pulp & paper mill in Russian Federation. 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. It is operated by Ilim Group JSC. No facility-measured CO₂ figure is available in the open dataset used here.

In context: how this facility compares

Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations — heat that must be supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion, and losses through uninsulated vessels and piping represent wasted fuel. Removable modular insulation can cut those losses by 80–96%, surface-cooling equipment to ≤45°C, with payback often under 2 years. 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.

Carbon & decarbonization context

No facility-measured CO₂ is published for Ilim Group - Ilim East - Bratsk Branch; Climate TRACE provides only a pulp & paper mill sector-level estimate, so a precise per-site figure, ranking or carbon cost would be misleading and is not shown. The decarbonization lever is the same regardless: eliminating heat loss on hot equipment (removable insulation, steam & waste-heat recovery) typically cuts 2–5% of fuel-related CO₂, with payback up to 2 years. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).

Heat loss & insulation profile

For a pulp & paper mill, the main modular-insulation targets are digesters, dryers, evaporators, steam lines, hot-water systems. Typical hot-surface ranges used for screening: 80–200 °C.

Indicative recoverable energy

A first-pass insulation screen suggests about 6,500 MWh/year of recoverable heat-loss reduction and about 1,300 t CO₂e/year of avoided emissions. Screening estimate scaled from installed process-heat projects and surface-temperature reduction data.

Screening calculation from facility class, capacity and open emissions/energy context. Engineering survey required before procurement.

Safety & the no-regret first step

Start with a thermal survey of valves, flanges, doors and bends. Removable modular insulation keeps maintenance access open while lowering exposed-surface temperature and wasted heat.
