The project is one of the first uses of the new natural gas pipeline through northern New Hampshire. This is one of the first uses of the new natural gas pipeline through northern New Hampshire, and is exactly the kind of use we hoped for. Groveton Paper Board's investment is just another example of how the North Country's economy is growing. This new plant will help both the economy and the environment of the North Country and New Hampshire. Combined heat and power applications such as this one are two to three times more efficient than the plant's existing heating and electricity practices.
Natural gas is inherently cleaner than other fossil fuels.
The change will also dramatically lower emissions of other toxic air pollutants, such as mercury. New Hampshire's Department of Environmental Services worked with Groveton Paper Board to streamline the permitting process for the project.
