This project facilitated the utilization of uneconomic and non-merchantable low-grade fibre from blocks harvested in the Quesnel Timber Supply area that would otherwise be burned on site. Fibre suitable for pulp was chipped in Quesnel and utilized by local pulp mills. Fibre not suitable for pulp was processed and shipped to the Pacific BioEnergy Pellet plant in Prince George. This project helped to support the Province’s greenhouse gas reduction targets, created and maintained employment, and maximized fibre utilization.
