QUEBEC CITY – CO₂ Solutions Inc. today provided an update on the Corporation’s first commercial project with Fibrek General Partnership, a subsidiary of Resolute Forest Products Inc., and Serres Toundra Inc. The project involves the deployment of a 30-tonne per day (tpd) CO₂capture unit and ancillary equipment at Resolute’s pulp mill in Saint-Félicien, Quebec and the commercial reuse of the captured CO₂ by the adjacent Toundra Greenhouse complex. The Corporation is pleased to announce that the start of the commissioning of the CO₂ capture unit officially took place on March 14, 2019. This start-up was preceded by the successful pre-operation verifications of each of the capture unit’s systems, after which the unit was put into operation and the first tonnes of CO₂ were captured. The Corporation now expects to ramp up the overall capture rate to validate the unit’s nominal capacity of 30 tonnes of CO₂ per day.
