Combined Heat and Power Wood Products, Georgia - Pacific Wood Products - Case Study

Georgia-Pacific (GP) is one of the world`s leading manufacturers of tissue, pulp, packaging, building products and related chemicals. The GP building products facility in Taylorsville, Mississippi produces high quality plywood for a variety of indoor and outdoor projects. GP believes in improving people`s lives by using fewer resources but still providing quality products and services to their customers. GP`s Taylorsville plant was facing both high energy costs and a critical milestone with implementation of the boiler maximum achievable control technology (MACT) requirements. They needed a new solution to reduce emissions while taking advantage of the low gas prices. A new combined heat and power (CHP) plant was the answer, and Solar could provide a complete solution in a critical timeline.
