Delivering the First Completed BC ICE Fund Project
Kruger Products is the leading Canadian manufacturer and distributor of tissue and paper towel products. Kruger, Nexterra and FPInnovations formed a consortium to build Kruger’s gasification plant, the first of its kind in the pulp and paper industry and the first commercial demonstration of Nexterra’s direct fired gasification solution. Nexterra broke ground on the project in April 2009 and completed equipment installation in November 2009, when the plant was commissioned. The plant was fully operational in December 2009.
The project has received support from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the British Columbia Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) Fund and Ethanol BC. This is the first completed project from the $25 million ICE fund.
