New biomass energy partnership in Ontario |
|
The
Township of White River and Pic Mobert First Nation formerly announced
their partnership this week to expand an existing mill cogeneration
power unit and produce wood pellets at the former Domtar site in White
River, Ontario.
Together with an unnamed private investor, the
partnership, named White River Forest Products, have purchased the
White River sawmill and assets from Domtar. The company pans to nearly
triple its current co-gen output of 7.5 megawatts but needs approval
from the Ministry of Energy.
Though the new operation would
start with an expanded cogen and wood-pellet operation, the long-term
plan includes getting back into the lumber market.
