Account Holder
British Columbia Government
Description
A new system at Canfor Lumber’s Fort St. John mill distributes heat to dry lumber through a heat energy system that is fuelled by wood residues generated by the lumber manufacturing process. Developed by Offsetters, a Vancouver-based carbon management solutions provider, this project is a model for reducing BC’s industrial emissions in a way that supports clean technologies and creates new economic opportunities for surrounding communities. Not only has Fort St. John benefitted economically, but so have Vanderhoof and Prince George, where many of the heat energy system project components were manufactured. Transitioned to BC Carbon Registry. This project has been grandfathered under the Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Act and may have further issuances for the period after December 31, 2015.
