Appendix 11
Balance sheet of materials

The amount of demand of whole stem hemp: 0.2 million tons/yr x 2.3 ton stalk/ton paper = 0.46 million tons/yr
Cooking agent: 0.46 million t/yr x 22% = 0.1012 million tons/yr
Cooking catalyst: 0.46 million t/yr x 0.05% = 230 tons/yr
Bleaching agent: 0.46 million t/yr x 48% x 8% = 0.0177 million tons/yr
Bleaching activator: 0.46 million t/yr x 48% x 2% x 2 = 8832 tons/yr
Bleaching aids: 0.46 million t/yr x 48% x 3% x 2 = 13248 tons/yr
0.46 million t/yr x 48% x1.5% x 2 = 6624 tons/yr
0.46 million t/yr x 48% x 0.05% x 2 = 220.8 tons/yr

Demand of water, electricity, coal:
Water: 0.2 million t/yr x 250 tons water/ton paper = 50 million t water/yr
Coal: 0.2 million t/yr x 1.8 ton coal/ton paper = 0.36 million t coal/yr
Electricity: 0.2 million t/yr x 1900 Kwh/h/t paper = 380 million Kwh/h/yr
Steam: 0.2 mio t/yr x 6 t steam/t paper : 300 days:24 h = 166.7 t Steam/hour
Felt: 0.2 million t/yr x 0.45 kg felt/ton paper = 90 tons/yr
Plastic wire: 0.2 million t/yr x 0.45m2 wire/ton paper = 0.09 million m2/yr
