The Georgia-Pacific Corp., headquartered in Atlanta, has applied for changes in its air emissions permit that would allow it to burn construction and demolition debris for fuel using a new biomass boiler at its Old Town, Maine, paper mill, according to a report in the Bangor Daily News (Bangor, Maine.).
The company has two applications being processed by the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The first would change the backup boiler from the mill’s oil boiler to a new biomass boiler, which was purchased last year from Montreal-based company Boralex, according to the report.
The second application under review seeks permission to use C&D material to fuel the boiler.
