Iogen to develop cellulosic ethanol project
The provincial government in Saskatchewan, Canada, has signed an agreement with biotechnology company Iogen to develop the province’s first cellulosic ethanol plant.
It was announced that the plant is to be situated at the former Domtar-owned pulp and sawmill in Big River.
Iogen will operate the plant, which will be a commercial-scale expansion of its wheat straw ethanol demonstration plant in
Ontario.
The Canadian government has pledged up to 40% of the cost of the project in the form of development grants. The plant will also feature power generation from forest residues.
