ERMP Phase 3: Understanding Energy Reduction and Developing Higher-Value Markets for Mechanical Pulps

这项提议建立在前两个300万美元的5年期NSERC CRD的基础上，UBC在过去10年里一直由UBC主办，专注于机械制浆。在该计划的前几个阶段，我们的研究强调了节能降耗。在这一轮中，我们的目标已经扩展为一个三管齐下的计划，该计划是与我们的10家工业赞助商(AB酵素、艾伯塔新闻纸、BC Hydro、Canfor、Catalyst、FP Innovation、Holmen、Millar Western、Valmet和West Fraser)共同创建的。行业已经设定了该计划的愿景，以更好地了解减少能源削减的战略，并为机械纸浆创造更高价值的市场。我们提出了一个耗资300万美元的为期5年的项目，将培训8名PDF、9名博士生和14名本科生。我们创建了一个有三个研究主题的研究项目，总共有八个项目，由来自五个不同部门的科学家和工程师组成的跨学科团队领导，横跨三所加拿大大学。

This proposal builds up on two previous $3M, 5-year NSERC CRDs which UBC has continuously hosted by UBC over the past 10 years focusing on mechanical pulping. In the previous phases of this program, our research emphasized energy reduction. In this round, our goals have expanded into a three-pronged program created in conjunction with our 10 industrial sponsors (AB Enzymes, Alberta Newsprint, BC Hydro, Canfor, Catalyst, FP Innovations, Holmen, Millar Western, Valmet, and West Fraser). Industry has set the vision of the program to better understand strategies to reduce energy reduction and to create higher-value markets for mechanical pulp. We are proposing a $3M, 5-year program that will train 8 PDF, 9 PhD students and 14 undergraduate students. We have created a research program with three research themes with eight projects in total, led by an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, from five different departments, spanning three Canadian universities.
