The $25-million provincially funded BC Bioenergy Network is awarding almost $5 million in funding to two biomass pilot projects. “These pilot projects will help to further strengthen British Columbia’s environmental leadership, long-term competitiveness and electricity self-sufficiency,” said Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Minister Blair Lekstrom. “By converting wood waste into clean energy, these projects will help ensure that we meet our province’s future energy demands while at the same time supporting economic growth and job creation.”
The BC Bioenergy Network has awarded $1.82 million in funding to Lignol Innovations Ltd. and a further $3 million in funding to Nexterra Energy Corp. Lignol uses biorefining technology to turn wood waste into fuel-grade bioethanol and biochemicals. Nexterra develops systems that turn wood waste into clean, renewable heat and power using biomass gasification technology.
