both technologies have a large potential for recovery of carbon from the wood by-products, which are currently only used for heat and power production. Their combined integration in a pulp mill would allow for better utilization of the biomass feedstock, for carbon dioxide removals and production of valuable bio-based products. The results show that the consequences on energy and carbon balances of integrating carbon capture in pulp mills is strongly dependent on other strategic developments in the mill. Since the energy and carbon fl ows are determining factors for the economic and environmental performance of the carbon capture process, future studies of pulp mill carbon capture should consider the interaction with other potential technologies that may be integrated in the mill.
