Canada Invests in Carbon Capture for Pulp and Paper Industry
The Canadian government announced an $8 million investment in the Kruger Wayagamack Pulp and Paper Mill in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, for a carbon capture project. This initiative aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 1,800 tonnes annually, using innovative molten borates technology. The project is part of the Investment in Forest Industry Transformation program, which supports decarbonization efforts in the forestry sector. The technology will recover heat for steam production, potentially serving as a model for other pulp and paper facilities.
