Energy Management

Algoma continues to play an important role in Canada's commitment to the global reduction of greenhouse gases. As a member of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, we are actively participating with other member companies in consultation with the Government of Canada to ensure a meaningful impact on addressing climate change. Algoma has reduced CO2 emissions by nearly 45% per tonne of shipped steel since 1993 - well in excess of Canada's original commitment under the Kyoto Accord for a 6% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. 

As one of Algoma's energy excellence initiatives, construction is now underway on a 70MW cogeneration facility which is on track for commissioning in January 2009.  Fueled by waste gases from the cokemaking and ironmaking processes this facility will reduce Algoma's reliance on the provincial grid by 50% based on average consumption.
