Harmac pulp mill in BC sees emissions rise along with production; plans to phase out use of heavy fuel oil [From the web]

NANAIMO, BC, Jan. 11, 2012 (Local News) - Fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions at the Harmac pulp mill crept up by about 10% between 2009 and 2010 as the facility ramped up production.

But the mill will operate even cleaner once it phases out the burning of heavy fuel oil over the next few years, says one manager.

The local mill gave off 78,871 tonnes of C02 equivalent greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 with two full production lines operating for most of the year.
