About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

DS Smith replaced the coal-fired boiler at its Rouen paper mill with a biomass boiler powered by wood waste. The €90M project diverts waste from landfill and reduces the mill's direct emissions. Evidence: "DS Smith's new biomass boiler has been activated at Rouen paper mill, marking a transformative €90M investment in low-carbon energy infrastructure. ... cutting CO2 emissions by 99,000 tons annually" — https://www.renewableenergymagazine.com/biomass/ds-smith-s-a-90m-biomass-boiler-20250620
