Corporate Initiatives

During 2011, CPLP will be undertaking a number of projects that will have a direct impact on the local environment and the community. These projects will improve the environmental performance, reduce emissions, advance the energy efficiency, and increase the renewable power generation of our Prince George operations. The projects will receive significant funding from the Federal Government Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program.

Taken together, these projects represent an investment of more than $158 million to realise improvements in energy efficiency, odour reduction, and particulate reduction. $122 million in funding will be reimbursed by Natural Resources Canada under the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program. CPLP is investing the additional $36 million to ensure that Best Available Technology is fully implemented to meet or exceed today’s standards and fully meet tomorrow’s. While all of these projects would in time have been implemented, even without the support of the Federal program, (indeed some were already underway), the program has permitted us to implement them in a far more rapid time frame, thus accelerating their environmental benefits while providing an economic stimulus to the local and national economies.
