Canfor Pulp Products Inc. will pursue a new energy project at its Northwood mill in Prince George.
A new 32-megawatt condensing turbo-generator will be installed at the plant at an estimated cost of $65 million, the company said Thursday.
It will also carry out a $40-million upgrade the refining line at its Taylor mill, to be partially funded through BC Hydro conservation program incentives.
The projects are intended to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, as well as lessen the amoung of water and steam per per tonne of pulp and natural gas consumption, the company said.
"These projects reflect Canfor Pulp's commitment to sustainable pulp production while continuing to improve the cost competitiveness of our pulp mills," said Canfor Pulp president Brett Robinson said in a statement.
