GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) â After using coal for over 100 years, Georgia-Pacific shut down their last coal-fired boiler at the Green Bay Broadway mill on Monday. This follows the installation earlier this year of a second natural gas boiler at the facility, which became fully operational in September.
âNow we have a second natural gas boiler, which allows us to stop our use of coal completely,â said Public Affairs Manager Mike Kawleski. âThatâs quite a change for us since the facility has been around for more than 100 years.â
Georgia-Pacific invested nearly $27 million to purchase and install the boiler, which produces steam for process use and power generation at the mill. The millâs first natural gas boiler was installed in 2015, which replaced the facilityâs largest coal-fired boiler, helping the mill reduce air emissions, meet future regulations, and modernize its assets.

GREEN BAY (NBC 26) â After using it for more than a century, Georgia-Pacific will stop burning coal at its Green Bay Broadway mill next Monday.
They are converting over to natural gas at the facility. The company invested nearly $27 million to make the switch. A spokesperson for the mill says it s a big step forward. This helps us improve a lot of things. Obviously, the environmental footprint, but also safety because a lot of that equipment was old and plus, we have more room for future investments here in the facility,â said Mike Kawleski, the Public Affairs Manager for Georgia-Pacific - Green Bay Operations.
