The Irving Pulp and Paper Mill provided the back-drop for an announcement from the Provincial Government.
$3.5 million dollars will be spread out through 16 new projects to the Industrial Energy Efficiency Implementation program.
Environment Minister Rick Miles says this program will help remove over 155,000 tonnes of GHG emissions every year.
That is the equivalent of taking close to 30,000 vehicles off the road every year.
A few of the companies receiving the funding are J.D. Irving, McCain Foods, Fraser Papers and Marwood Ltd.
