Based on our experience procuring and shipping coal, and pulverizing it for the steel industry, we've uncovered new opportunities to help pulp and paper mills significantly reduce their energy costs. We supply the mills with pulverized petroleum coke -- a replacement fuel for higher priced natural gas and fuel oil.
In 2005, we opened the first of several petroleum coke processing plants planned to serve pulp and paper mills and other industrial customers. A single plant is capable of producing 250,000 tons of pulverized pet coke per year, enough to serve up to ten mills with delivery by pnuematic truck or rail car. The plants are expected to save customers millions of dollars per year in energy costs.
