Advanced biofuels committee sets stall out in Canada

A new committee focusing on the future of biofuels in Canada has been formed by the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association (CRFA).

CFRA revealed the committee and its members will represent those involved in advanced biofuels, particularly focusing on technology and new projects.

‘Canada is building on the success of its established biofuels industry to create a new wave of biofuels facilities that will deliver significant economic and environmental benefits,” says CRFA president Scott Thurlow. ‘However, to realize Canada’s full green energy potential, programmes and policies that spur innovation and foster investment are essential.’

The group’s inaugural members are solid waste-to-biofuels company Enerkem, Danish ethanol producers Inbicon and US-based biomass utilisers Mascoma.
