Lafarge’s low-carbon fuel facility in Exshaw goes live, faces resident scrutiny
· Calgary HeraldA low-carbon fuel facility at Lafarge’s Exshaw plant that has drawn ire from some residents since it was first proposed is now operational after years of planning.
Lafarge announced in a press release last week that its new facility is “changing the game in industrial sustainability.”
The facility is set to divert up to 120,000 tonnes of construction demolition waste from landfills annually by burning approved materials including shredded wood, non-recyclable plastics and asphalt roof shingles.
