Nexterra's Gasification System at Kruger Products Tissue Mill in New Westminster BC
“Our New Westminster mill is situated in an urban area, so we needed the cleanest technology available, and in a challenging economic climate, we also needed the most cost-competitive. Nexterra’s biomass gasification system addresses both challenges, significantly reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs.”
– Frank van Biesen, VP Technology, Kruger Products
