Sustainable Power Generation

For us at Mercer, our sustainability focus includes mitigating climate change; we strive to continually lower our carbon footprint while increasing efficiency at our mills. All of our mills produce enough sustainable, green energy to not only heat and power our operations but to provide excess electricity to utilities looking to move away from fossil fuel-based electrical supplies.

This bioelectricity is a clean and easily transported source of energy, useful for most energy-requiring applications, except those that require independence from an electrical grid (such as certain types of transportation). At Mercer, our process produces approximately 1,800 GWh of power each year – enough to power 170,000 U.S. homes without fossil fuels.
