Kruger Products reduces emissions with new heat recovery system in Canada
The Sherbrooke plant implemented an energy efficiency initiative that will save nearly four million m³ of natural gas annually and reduce CO₂ emissions by 7,825 tonnes per year
The Kruger Products plant in Sherbrooke, Canada, announced the commissioning of a new heat recovery system installed on its TAD tissue machine, an initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of its operations.
The system allows recovered energy to be reintegrated into the production process, generating estimated savings of nearly four million m³ of natural gas per year. In addition, the implementation will reduce the plant’s CO₂ emissions by 13%, equivalent to approximately 7,825 tonnes annually.
The project was supported financially by Énergir through its Effective Measures Implementation Program, which promotes initiatives focused on optimizing energy consumption and advancing more sustainable solutions.
With this initiative, the Sherbrooke plant team reinforces its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint and developing more efficient practices within the tissue industry.
