Supporting businesses in achieving their decarbonization goals
Canada has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. To reach this ambitious goal, all sectors of society—including the metallurgical industry—must make significant efforts.
The raw materials extracted by this sector are key drivers in developing the energy sources and technologies of tomorrow.
A Responsibility Rooted in
Innovation and Recovery
The green transition of the metallurgical industry:
a shared responsibility that depends on
reliable and forward-thinking partners.
Decarbonizing the metallurgical industry is a necessary step, as the production of base materials like metal and aluminum accounts for 25 to 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Quebec stands out with its hydroelectric power, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of industrial waste and transformation processes.
Canepta is among the few companies in the province that locally process, recycle, and transform high-carbon industrial residues from foundries and aluminum plants. As a leader in this field, Canepta brings its expertise and support to its clients, directly reducing GHG emissions in the sector.
Innovating and Delivering Sustainable Solutions
Innovation and research are key drivers in the journey toward decarbonization.
Today, Québec and its industries have a unique opportunity to position themselves as leaders in the green transition by developing innovation hubs and cutting-edge sectors.
Metallurgical companies that rely on strong partners with proven, research-driven, and innovative methods will be the ones to succeed. That’s precisely what Canepta offers its clients and suppliers.
Continuing to Shape the Future
With a forward-thinking approach, Canepta is opening a new chapter in its history by developing innovative products and building on its strong expertise in material recovery.
In an effort to minimize its dependence on fossil fuels and reduce its environmental impact, Canepta has strengthened its expertise in carbon valorization by installing a facility dedicated to the production of biochar and bio-oil, with a capacity of 20,000 tons to meet the needs of local steel mills.
The process begins with the creation of biochar from selected organic materials. Through controlled pyrolysis, a carbon-rich solid biochar is obtained. This biochar is then subjected to a patented process to enhance its carbon content, density, and other technical properties required by the industry, thereby optimizing its properties for efficient combustion, making it ideal for the metallurgical industry.
