Thermal Energy International joined Carbon Pricing for Canadian Industry in Toronto to discuss the evolving federal and provincial policy landscape and the role of energy efficiency in reducing industrial emissions and operating costs.
The event provided an opportunity to showcase Thermal Energy’s energy savings and carbon reduction solutions and learn about federal and provincial carbon regulations, industry developments, and best practices
Antoine Hofer, Technical Sales Director at Thermal Energy International said,
With carbon regulations being developed on provincial and federal levels of government, Canadian industry is being challenged by new benchmarks, timelines, pricing and rules. If your company or association needs to understand the risks and opportunities presented by the new carbon regulations, then you are encouraged to learn about our cleantech technologies for reducing carbon emissions and increasing competitiveness.
Resolute in their carbon reduction goals
Also in attendance at the event are representatives from Resolute Forest Products. Like most companies, Resolute has been largely dependent on natural gas to create the energy needed to keep their productions going particularly in the winter periods. Looking to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas the mill is producing, the global leader in the forest products industry is collaborating with Thermal Energy at the Thunder Bay Resolute pulp and paper mill to reduce its carbon footprint. Using both Thermal Energy’s FLU-ACE™ heat recovery technology and GEM™ steam traps the project will enable Resolute Forest to increase energy efficiency at its Thunder Bay mill and reduce GHG emissions by an estimated 43,000 mt CO2 eq/yr for a reduction in natural gas consumption of more than 15%.
Robert Triebe, COO at Thermal Energy International said,
At Thermal Energy International, we are committed to helping clients like Resolute achieve their energy efficiency and carbon reduction goals at an affordable cost and payback. Programs like Ontario’s Target GHG Program are important as they help offset project costs and encourage industries to adopt innovative cleantech solutions like those we provide.
