In Sweden, Finland and to an extent Norway, much of the land area is forested, the pulp and paper industry is one of the most significant industrial sectors.

Chemical pulping produces an excess of energy, since the organic matter in black liquor, mostly lignin and hemicellulose breakdown products, is burned in the recovery boiler.

Thus, these countries have high proportions of renewable energy use (25% in Finland, for instance). Considerable effort is directed towards increasing the value and usage of forest products by companies and by government projects.

The Futurologist Jari Kaivo-oja spoke yesterday in Lapinlahti (Yla-Savvo) about Climate Change 2050 and Energy alternativees. There was an interesting discussion about the transition time management and the change programs needed in Finland to get to the frontline in the areas of 1) bioeconomy, 2) cleantech and 3) digitalization. The challenge is to get SMEs to grow and become more international.

I'm reading their home page: "From the beginning, the goals of Victory Energy have been to be a single-source solutions provider backed by superior service. Our commitment to customer satisfaction continues to guide our core values. Today, we are a leading boiler supplier offering custom solutions through advanced technologies and state-of-the-art manufacturing. Through our in-house sales team and a strong network of independent representatives, Victory Energy has grown to serve clients across the globe."

VE Blog posting: "When evaluating potential industrial boiler suppliers it is important to gain an understanding of how involved the supplier is with all phases of any given boiler project. Do they design the boiler? Do they engineer the boiler? Do they manufacture the boiler? Do they transport and install the boiler? Can they provide routine maintenance?  These are all questions that should be answered when making a decision on industrial boiler suppliers."

Their Corporate headquarters located in Collinsville, Oklahoma.

In 1999, a small company began with a big concept: To set the bar higher by building better, cleaner, more innovative boilers with an extra degree of customer service.

Victory Energy started with a handful of contracts, and very quickly started to grow. By 2007, Victory had become one of the top manufacturers of boilers and HRSGs for the ethanol industry.

That year, VE established a strategic focus on diversification, answering the call from the oil and gas, utility, institutional, food, chemical, biomass, and pulp/paper industries.
