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
