Oct 15, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Norampac Trenton, a division of Cascades Canada Inc., is receiving C$83,000 from the Government of Canada's Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program (PPGTP), as ForestTalk reported. The investment will be used to improve the energy efficiency of the mill’s existing paper machine by upgrading its capacity to capture and redirect energy for other uses within the mill. To increase energy recovery, Norampac has made improvements that have increased the efficiency of the mill’s heat exchangers. The recovery of this additional energy will reduce the mill’s energy requirements and its use of natural gas to heat the paper machine departments by more than 20,000 gigajoules per year. In turn, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by over 1,000 metric tonnes annually — the equivalent volume of emissions produced by 250 cars in a year. Cascades Canada is one of 24 pulp and paper companies across Canada that qualified for credits under the $1-billion program, based on their 2009 production levels of black liquor, a liquid byproduct of the pulping process used to generate heat and power.
