Description (French)
Haliburton Forest Biochar (HFB) développe depuis sept ans une technologie novatrice et de nouveaux marchés pour le biochar. L’objectif de ce projet est de mettre à l’échelle les procédés actuels et de continuer à développer de nouveaux marchés à forte valeur ajoutée pour le biochar. Le projet s’attaque au principal obstacle que constituent le manque d’approvisionnement en biochar de haute qualité en Ontario et l’absence d’un marché à forte valeur ajoutée pour le biochar, en développant à grande échelle un biomatériau commercial haute performance destiné à remplacer les produits à base de combustibles fossiles dans les secteurs de la mousse automobile et de la construction. Pour y parvenir, HFB cherche à accroître sa capacité d’ingénierie interne afin de soutenir l’optimisation des processus existants et la conception et la mise en place de nouveaux processus.
