Global forest industry energy use In the world, the industrial energy use is about 30 % of final energy consumption 1. The forest industry is an energy intensive process 2. With an energy use of ~6.5 EJ in 2015, the pulp and paper industry was responsible for about 6 % of the world’s total industrial
