There’s a biorefinery initiative in Canada’s Atlantic region (first initiated in Nova Scotia but expanding regionally). A partnership between Emera, Innovacorp, and the Federal and Provincial governments, are aimed at creating the necessary conditions to attract and host a biorefinery and biomaterials industrial cluster. Forestry, oceans, agriculture, and MSW are all part of mix, and additional industrial partners are joining the program.
Here’s an overview of the complete program.
