Carbon Strategy

Carbon Strategy

We are working aggressively to optimize our operations, pursue energy self-sufficiency and reduce our carbon footprint.  In addition to implementing energy conservation programs, we are increasing the amount of sustainable power generated through cogeneration plant and the recovery boiler -- both of which use biomass and liquor.  The result is a significant reduction of fossil fuel dependence and lower greenhouse gas emissions. 

Key Facts:

  • Maximized energy recovery through reusing thermal power, reducing steam through recovery, increasing recycled water usage
     
  • Minimized fossil fuel usage through rebuilding and closing boilers
     
  • Maximized usage of carbon-neutral and renewable biomass through cogeneration and the installation of biomass boilers
     
  • Track direct and indirect GHG emissions regularly
    • Reduced GHG emissions by 76% since 2006
