Fibre Utilization and Recovery – Quesnel

This project increases the utilization of pulp and biologs from the Quesnel and Williams Lake areas that would otherwise be uneconomical. The pulp logs are transported to Cariboo Pulp and Paper in Quesnel, BC to be chipped and used for pulp, and the recovered biologs are used for hog fuel to create energy. The fibre is recovered from roadside residual waste resulting from primary harvest activities as well as through the rehabilitation of low-value stands. Through the utilization of the fibre, pile burning is avoided which results in reduced greenhouse gas emissions, fire impacted areas are reforested, and employment is generated.
