The Government of Canada’s investment of $83,000 in Norampac, a division of Cascades Canada Inc., will be used to improve the energy efficiency of the paper machine at Norampac’s Trenton pulp and paper 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 by more than 20,000 gigajoules per year.

“This $481,000 project, in which the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program will invest $83,000, will allow Norampac Trenton to improve its environmental performance by reducing the use of fossil fuels,” said Marc-Andr Dpin, president and CEO of Norampac.
