Most of the energy used at Canadian pulp and paper mills is generated using renewable, carbon-neutral biomass.
Since the early 1990s, the Canadian forest products sector has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 70%.
Advancements in energy efficiency and the transition to bioenergy sources utilizing wood residue generated by sustainable forestry have made this possible.
With regenerating biomass as an energy source, the biogenic emissions released from its combustion are offset by CO2 captured by forests. [1]
