For the second year running, Stora Enso has provided capital to fund innovative energy conservation and greenhouse gas emissions reduction projects in North America. These projects will share a total of USD 1 million in implementation funds, and will create annual energy savings amounting to nearly USD 1.8 million.
The combined thermal energy savings from these projects would provide enough heat annually for about 2 500 homes in Wisconsin’s climate, and enough electricity to power more than 1 000 homes each year. At the same time, the combined reduction in coal, natural gas, and power consumption translates into a projected reduction of more than 22 000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year. These projects are also expected to reduce water consumption by at least 552 000 m3 per year.
