CO2 Solutions will install a $7.4 million carbon capture system at Quebec forestry company Resolute Forest Products’ Saint-Félicien softwood kraft pulp mill. The captured CO2 — up to 30 metric tons per day — will then be reused in Serres Toundra’s $100 million vegetable greenhouse, currently under construction in Saint-Félicien.
