Federal laboratory research benefitting the pulp and paper industry
This article presents the methodology and results of a test effort to surface from six federal laboratories research results of potential application in the pulp and paper industry (PPI), particularly those results applicable to improving energy productivity. The six laboratories surveyed were the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL); Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL); Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLL); National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lewis Research Center (NASA Lewis); Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL); and the Sandia National Laboratory, Livermore (SNL). The principal methodology steps in this effort were the development of a taxonomy of the pulp and paper industry, identification of industry needs and laboratory capabilities, laboratory visits, review of technology findings with industry, and publication of results. Thirty-eight technologies relevant to the PPI were discovered in the laboratories; they are identified and profiled concisely herein.
