Global Data on Pulp and Paper Mills and Companies

The department of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has a requirement to obtain economic and industry information, services, analysis, and data, to support efforts to improve forest sector competitiveness while advancing environmental leadership. NRCan requires detailed information at the firm, mill, and machine level for pulp and paper production, including production capacity and costs, types of products, fibre inputs, types of equipment, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water and energy consumption, wastewater flows and ownership information for pulp and paper mills in North America and optionally for global mills. This information could be used to evaluate the competitiveness and the environmental impact of the Canadian pulp and paper industry relative to its primary competitors. NRCan is looking to access this information through a website and/or software package.
