FY 2013-14 · 2014-03-05

Summary
The Canadian Wood Fibre Centre (CWFC) has played a dominant role in knowledge development for woody biomass utilization in Canada. Cape Breton University (CBU) has partnered with BioEnergy Inc. and along with the CWFC has developed and tested novel equipment to produce briquettes, torrefied pellets, bio-char and activated carbon from woody biomass. The objective of the project is to cooperate in clean energy, mid-supply chain, and product development, analysis and knowledge exchange to develop novel comprehensive mid-supply chain systems and products. This project will enable CBU to investigate possible future product options for woody biomass feedstocks and facilitate the transfer of knowledge of renewable clean energy and value added bio-products to a wide array of stakeholders.

Program Purpose (French)
Le Centre canadien de la fibre de bois (CCFB) a joué un rôle déterminant dans l'accumulation de connaissances sur l'utilisation de la biomasse ligneuse au Canada. L'Université du Cap-Breton (UCB) s'est associée à BioEnergy Inc. et au CCFB pour mettre au point et tester de l'équipement novateur permettant de produire des briquettes, des granules torréfiées, du charbon à usage agricole et du charbon activé à partir de la biomasse ligneuse. Le projet vise à réaliser en collaboration les activités de développement, d'analyse et de transfert de connaissances relatives à la mise au point de systèmes et de produits novateurs, complets, de milieu de la chaîne d'approvisionnement et utilisant des énergies propres. Ce projet permettra à l'UCB d'étudier diverses applications potentielles des matières premières de la biomasse ligneuse, et facilitera le transfert de connaissances sur l'énergie propre renouvelable et les bioproduits à valeur ajoutée à un vaste éventail d'intervenants.
