Video released by Tork Australasia paper company on the use of geothermal energy in the production of paper products.

In a video by TORK Australiasia published earlier this year, this multinational paper products company provides a glimpse into the production of paper products using geothermal energy in New Zealand.

There the company utilise steam directly from the geothermal field at Kawerau in New Zealand, helping the company to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 46%.

This is a great example of the sustainable and unique use of ways geothermal resources beyond the production of electricity can be used.
