EMA Director-at-Large Stephanie Voysey with Lafarge

Congratulations to the EMA of BC’s Director-at-Large Stephanie Voysey, who made it into the Vancouver Sun on March 12, 2015! Stephanie is shown on the Business section Energy page holding some non-recyclable plastic fuel feedstock destined for Lafarge’s Cement Kiln. Lafarge uses 30% replacement fuel stocks and hopes to reach 50% in the coming years in efforts to replace coal fuel as part of the Cement Sustainability Initiative of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Lafarge’s Richmond Plant has been hard at work during the last 6 years to co-process more alternate fuels.
