CHAR technologies moves forward with Ontario RNG and biocoal project

In Canada, CHAR Technologies Ltd. has commenced surveying and geotechnical testing at the proposed site of its woody-biomass to renewable natural gas High Temperature Pyrolysis project near Kirkland Lake, Ontario. This project will potentially produce 500,000 gigajoules per year (GJ/yr) of RNG, and 10,000 metric tons per year of CHAR’s proprietary CleanFyre biocoal. The Kirkland Lake project will be designed, built, operated and owned by CHAR.

The chad previously entered into a land purchase option agreement (July 2, 2021) with the town of Kirkland Lake with respect to the proposed project site, as well as a letter of interest (July 9, 2021) for biomass supply to the project, and an exclusive letter of interest (September 16, 2021) with a Canadian gas utility for long term RNG offtake. It is anticipated that an offtake contract will be finalized by early 2022. CleanFyre from the proposed Kirkland Lake facility will be earmarked for future sale to the steel making and metal smelting industries.
