Skookumchuck Mill Curbs Carbon Emissions by Modernizing Boiler System

Our Skookumchuck pulp mill in British Columbia reduced its carbon footprint by making targeted improvements to its boiler system. The boiler primarily runs on woody biomass fuels and switches automatically to supplemental natural gas whenever the biomass feeding system encounters an issue. This operational strategy reduces fossil fuel use and lowers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

By improving the biomass feeding system, mill employees lowered the use of natural gas, resulting in decreased emissions of approximately 5,120 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, certified by a third‑party evaluator. That is equivalent to removing the GHG emissions of 1,194 passenger cars from the road.
