A sawmill in northern Saskatchewan just became the Indigenous-owned bioenergy centre in Canada, using leftover wood chips, bark and sawdust to generate enough electricity to heat 5,000 homes — while reducing emissions.

Nova Scotia Power will use more biomass to generate electricity for the next three years, under regulatory changes by the province that are angering environmentalists and being lauded by the forestry industry.

Funding will help establish Canada’s only renewable natural gas facility to exclusively use woody by-products

A Kelowna-based energy company has been given the go-ahead to build a renewable natural gas facility in the West Kootenays.

Flax and canola straw, sawdust, and wood waste— there have been very few uses for these biowaste products, and producers have been left wondering how to get rid of them.

At our Saalburg-Ebersdorf site, Mercer Timber Products (MTP) operates its own biomass power plant. Through this plant, we generate heat and bioelectricity for use in our mill. The plant has a firing heat capacity of 49.5 MW and an electrical capacity of 12.89 MW.

BETHESDA, Md.-- Enviva Inc. (NYSE: EVA) (“Enviva”), the world’s leading producer of sustainably sourced wood biomass, today issued the following statement in response to support it received from independent forestry associations regarding Enviva’s positive economic and environmental impact in the U.S. Southeast:

Vancouver, British Columbia – A new study confirms that wood pellets in British Columbia are sourced entirely from sawmill and harvest residuals or from low-quality logs and bush grind rejected by other industries.

Drax Group (Drax) would be prepared to do a carbon analysis of wood imports for its biomass facilities amid claims from the BBC it is hacking down carbon rich forests in Canada.

Sault Ste. Marie's largest heavy industry is looking at using local waste forest biomass as an alternative fuel source, in a bid to further decarbonize its operations.
