Canada’s Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Center awards Ontario project to Battelle

July 7, 2014 |

In Canada, the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre (SSMIC)’s bio-based technology request for proposal (RFP) has been awarded to Battelle. The purpose of the RFP was to attract a wood-based bioenergy project to the Sault, potentially leading to the construction of a commercial or demonstration plant in the city, which will stimulate local economic growth and create jobs. The region has access to ample and sustainable wood supply from Northern Ontario forests and this project will utilize the renewable supply of biofibre feedstock in the area.
