Kuparinen, K.; et al. (2019): Biomass-Based Carbon Capture and Utilization in Kraft Pulp Mills

Kuparinen, Katja, Esa Vakkilainen, and Tero Tynjälä. 2019. “Biomass-Based Carbon Capture and Utilization in Kraft Pulp Mills.” Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change 24 (7): 1213–30. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11027-018-9833-9.
