This document discusses energy efficiency in the Belgian pulp and paper industry. It outlines voluntary agreements from 2000-2012 where companies committed to targets for improving energy efficiency. These agreements helped the industry reduce its energy intensity index by 35% over this period. It also increased the share of cogeneration which supplies steam in a more efficient way. Going forward, the document proposes continuing voluntary agreements from 2013-2020 with a focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable products and reducing the carbon footprint over the full life cycle of paper products.

9. Voluntary agreements :
Credible policy instruments
 Strict methodology
 Monitoring
 Verification
 Information
 Publication
 Instrument for allocation NAP II
 Eu recognized equivalent to energy tax
 Stronger recognition essential

10. Voluntary agreements
 Win for authorities :
 Concrete contribution from industry to
objectives
 Dialogue platform with industry
 Win for companies :
 Energy up in agendas
 More stable legal framework
 Tax reductions
