Mercer Peace River Pulp and Svante CO₂ Capture Demonstration Unit

Mercer International and Svante Technologies have launched a carbon capture demonstration at the Peace River pulp mill in Alberta, evaluating solid sorbent technology for biogenic CO2 emissions from recovery boiler operations. This 6-month pilot builds on previous engineering assessments and generates critical technical data for potential commercial-scale deployment. The demonstration represents a cost-efficient approach to evaluating decarbonization technology performance in real operating environments, providing actionable insights for pulp and paper industry leaders considering carbon capture implementation. Results will inform longer-term sustainability planning and investment decisions across Mercer's pulp operations, supporting industry-wide decarbonization initiatives.
