The industrial sector faces mounting pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, comply with stringent environmental regulations and embrace renewable energy sources. In response, electric boilers have emerged as a pivotal solution, offering energy efficiency, zero emissions and adaptability to renewable power sources. These advantages make electric boilers attractive to industries like tissue and paper, where environmental performance is becoming a critical differentiator.
Cannon Bono’s electric boilers are designed with the same focus on reliability, efficiency and innovation that has defined steam generator or thermal oil heaters offerings. Key features and benefits include:
- Energy efficiency: utilizing electricity as a direct energy source eliminates combustion losses, ensuring maximum energy transfer to the steam.
- Zero emissions: unlike traditional boilers, electric ones produce no direct CO2 emissions, aligning with global decarbonization targets.
- Compact design: electric boilers offer a space-efficient footprint, making them easier to integrate into existing industrial layouts.
- Renewable integration: the ability to operate using renewable electricity enhances sustainability efforts and reduces dependency on fossil fuels.

Innovative design with energy efficiency in mind
Electric boilers in the tissue industry
The tissue industry, characterized by high steam demand and a growing emphasis on eco-friendly manufacturing, stands to benefit immensely from electric boiler technology. Cannon Bono’s electric boilers provide stable, high-quality steam essential for tissue production while meeting environmental compliance and sustainability goals. Furthermore, the flexibility electric boilers provide makes them ideal for hybrid configurations, where renewable energy sources can be used to offset grid electricity, in stand-alone mode or embedded in an integrated scheme with existing fired boilers.
Recently partnering with a customer in Europe to implement a hybrid steam solution, CANNON BONO combined an electric boiler with a natural gas-fired steam generator. This initiative is based on intelligent resource usage, leveraging the system’s flexibility to adapt to variations in thermal and electrical energy costs during different time slots. This approach reduced the customer’s carbon emissions by 40% and the overall consumption, optimizing operational costs through energy flexibility and enhanced process control. The project underscores Cannon Bono’s commitment to pioneering sustainable industrial solutions.
Looking ahead: the future of electric boilers
The growing role of electric boilers in industrial applications reflects the broader trend toward electrification and decarbonization. With advancements in grid reliability and renewable energy generation, the case for adopting electric boilers will only strengthen.
Cannon Bono remains committed to driving this evolution, continually refining its electric boiler portfolio to meet the future needs of the tissue and paper industry and beyond. Cannon Bono is proud to be at the forefront of electric boiler technology, empowering industries worldwide to meet their sustainability ambitions without compromising performance or reliability.
For tissue manufacturers and other industrial sectors, Cannon Bono’s electric boilers represent a step toward a cleaner, more efficient future.
