Cascades Fine Papers Group, Rolland Division has put into action its plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in partnership with Intersan and Gaz Métro.
Through the program, Intersan will capture biogas generated from the decomposition of waste buried at its Sainte-Sophie, Quebec, landfill. Gaz Métro will transport the collected gas through a 13-km pipeline to Cascades' paper mill. At the mill, the captured biogas produces a good portion of the energy needed to power the paper production equipment.
Cascades forecasts that this green energy will fulfill 75 percent of its thermal power requirements. This project required a 2-million-dollar investment by Cascades and was implemented in partnership with Intersan and Gaz Métro. This tripartite agreement allows to locally transform and use a source of energy that has a direct positive impact on the community.
