   Virginia Governor’s Conference on Energy Bob Fledderman Manager, Emerging Issues
2. MWV Business: Packaging (83%), Specialty Chemicals (14%), Land Management (3%) Global employees: 16,000 Global sales: $US 5.46 billion (2012) About 50% from outside US Corporate headquarters: Richmond, VA Paperboard mills: US - Covington, VA; Evadale, TX; Cottonton, AL Brazil - TresBarras, Santa Catarina India - Vapi, Gujarat; Morai, Gujarat Over 50 manufacturing facilities in 18 countries Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
3. Corporate Energy Targets Reduce fossil fuel use by 25% by 2015 Reduce CO2 emissions by 25% by 2015 from a 2010 baseline Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
4. Biomass Boiler & Turbine GeneratorCovington, VA Cost $285 million Displaces over 200,000 tons of coal with forest and mill residual biomass (bark, limbs, tops) Combined heat & power (CHP) Capacity 75 MW (electric) Capacity 650,000 lbs/hr (steam) Reduces power purchases Significant reductions in SO2, NOx and PM10 & PM2.5 emissions. Can use waste material (WWT sludge) previously landfilled Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
5. Relighting ProjectCovington, VA Cost $5.5 million Saves 19,500 MWh/year $950,000 EPACT rebate Improved or replaced over 15,000 fixtures Donated recycled scape fixtures to a local enterprise the employs disabled Continuing to Low Moor, VA facility (additional 1.1 MWh/year savings Considering continuing to Covington, VA Specialty Chemical Plant Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
6. New Printing PressLannett, AL Cost $14 million Saves 2,000 MWh/year Reduces waste by 800 tons/year Significantly reduces set-up times Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
7. No/Low Capital Projects Air system management (fix leaks/low resistance lines) Steam trap management (more frequent checks/maintenance) Additional electric meters (make power costs a front line responsibility) Operating procedures (optimize energy use – winter/summer) Advanced process controls (optimize energy use with automation) Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
8. Process Innovation Paperboard light weighting Process change requires 6% less energy per square foot of paperboard Energy efficient pulping Process is much more efficient regarding electric power than alternatives Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
9. Product Innovation Light weight plastic spray triggers (10% less resin (polypropylene)/replaces steel with plastic) Versaplast All-Plastic Trigger Sprayer Replace plastic with paperboard (weighs 40% less) ShellPakRenew (pharmaceutical package) Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
10. Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) • Zero up-front cash investment • Immediate positive cash flow • Long-term financing (up to 20 years) • PACE assessment stays with the property upon sale • Low interest rates • Preservation of borrowing capacity through off-balance–sheet financing Governor's Conference on Energy, October 2013
