Resolute reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 83%

In 2011, Resolute made an ambitious commitment: to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 65% by 2015, compared to 2000 levels. Thanks to significant efforts deployed across its operations, Resolute reached its goal ahead of schedule. But the company didn’t stop there – at the end of 2019, reached a new high of 83%.

Resolute continues to seek opportunities to reduce emissions and increase efficiencies. In 2019, in addition to achieving a 65% reduction in indirect emissions at Coosa Pines (Alabama) pulp mill through the modernization of the cogeneration turbine, Resolute  increased operational stability and made improvements to the power boiler at its Saint-Félicien (Quebec) pulp mill; optimized the electrical power boilers at its Alma and Kénogami (Quebec) paper mills; improved control of combustion on the boiler at its Baie-Comeau (Quebec) newsprint mill; and completed the optimization project at its Thunder Bay (Ontario) pulp and paper mill for a 20% reduction in direct emissions.
