The bio-based transfromation

For decades, the pulp and paper sector has quietly been a pioneer in bioenergy and biomaterials. Through its evolution from traditional manufacturing sites into modern, self-sufficient biorefineries - and supported by active, long-term forestry that enables the shift from fossil fuels to sustainable energy - it has become one of the world's largest producers and users of renewable energy from wood-based residues.

But what does this transformation mean for the future of energy, sustainability, and even new revenue opportunities?

That's exactly what we're exploring in this episode, as we ask: How is the pulp, paper, and fiber industry creating future value through biomass, biofuels, and circular innovation?

Reimagining fiber- from paper to bio-innovation

Fiber is no longer just about paper. 

Across industries, wood and cellulose are being transformed into advanced biomaterials, sustainable textiles, and renewable energy sources. These innovations are reshaping how we think about circular production, reducing fossil dependency, and unlocking new business opportunities. 

In this bonus episode we ask Stefan Thorburn, Senior Principal Scientist at ABB Corporate Research: how is this shift happening, and how is technology enabling it?
