The idea is one of several new ‘decarbonization’ strategies being investigated
Sault Ste. Marie's largest heavy industry is looking at using local waste forest biomass as an alternative fuel source, in a bid to further decarbonize its operations.
He describes Algoma's decarbonization efforts as "an opportunity for fuel substitution" – part of an industry-wide push by Canadian steel producers to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. "Three million tonnes a year is one of the, if not the largest single point-source reduction in greenhouse gases in Canada, as far as an individual project goes," Post told last week's meeting.In an unrelated matter, neither Algoma Steel nor United Steelworkers Local 2251 are saying much about a deadline set earlier this year to resolve outstanding differences related to the new electric arc furnaces.
The $700 million conversion to electric arc steelmaking is the most expensive construction project in Sault Ste. Marie's history.
