Clermont Mill Energy Recovery Project: An Industry First

Our Clermont Mill, a nearly century-old institution in Quebec’s Charlevoix region, has long been a pillar of the local community. The mill is home to a paper machine that produces 221,000 metric tons of newsprint a year from thermomechanical pulp. Faced with the high energy demands of paper production, the mill rose to the challenge with an innovative energy recovery project. Fully aware of the opportunities to optimize steam consumption, the team at the Clermont Mill partnered with Hydro-Québec to develop an ambitious energy recovery project. Hydro-Québec provided CA$3 million of financial assistance to help the mill reduce its steam consumption by capturing and reusing waste heat. The project involved installing heat exchangers and two water-to-water heat pumps, directly integrated into the paper production process — a first for Quebec’s pulp and paper industry. The initiative has yielded significant results, including an annual savings of CA$800,000 and a 15-million-kWh reduction in energy consumption. To better illustrate the impact, the energy saved could power 880 houses, a statistic that highlights the project’s economic and environmental benefits.

GreenFirst Announces Plan to Spin-Out Kap Corporation

GreenFirst Forest Products Inc. announces that it intends to complete a spin-out transaction of Kap Corporation, whereby the shares of Kap will be held directly by the shareholders of the Company. The Spin-out is expected to be completed in Q4 2024. GreenFirst will hold a shareholder meeting on September 12, 2024, where shareholders will be able to vote on the Spin-out. The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be August 8, 2024. The Spin-out of Kap is part of the natural progression of the decentralization and deconsolidation of the newsprint mill that was originally disclosed by GreenFirst in the Fall of 2023. The Spin-out will enable GreenFirst to focus on its core business of being a pure-play lumber producer, offering shareholders a stake in any future upside from the development of Kap. Under the new structure, Kap will be able to explore numerous possibilities that were not feasible under the original GreenFirst ownership structure. As a separate company, Kap will consider independent financing alternatives and partnerships in the future. Kap Paper Inc. is the only chip consuming facility in Northeastern Ontario and the Spin-out provides Kap Paper with the potential to pursue new opportunities to support the green economy as part of a broader Northern Ontario forest strategy.
