Massachusetts & Canada: An integrated economy
- 492 Canadian-owned businesses employ 26,750 workers in Massachusetts
- $3.0 billion in annual exports of goods to Canada
- $10.6 billion in annual imports of goods from Canada
Did you know? Massachusetts and Canadian innovations are solving some of the globe’s most pressing challenges, like curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Mantel Capture Inc., a pioneering start-up founded by MIT engineers and scientists is developing an industrial scale demonstration project for carbon capture and reuse at Kruger Inc.’s Wayagamack pulp and paper mill in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec. Mantel’s scalable technology is energy efficient and sustainable, currently capturing up to 5 tons of carbon daily while producing clean steam, both of which can be reinjected into the papermaking process. Cross border partnerships like this are key to greening our future.
