Who is eligible for funding under the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program? How will funds be distributed?
Pulp mills located in Canada that produce black liquor (see below) between January 1 and December 31, 2009 are eligible for funding. Mills will receive funding based on $0.16/litre of black liquor burned until the $1 billion in funding is fully allotted. Firms can only use the funding for capital investments at their pulp and paper mills to improve their environmental performance.
