In Canada, Quebec government has announced a three-year, C$1.15 million grant to the Consortium de recherche et innovations en bioprocédés industriels au Québec (CRIBIQ) to promote innovation and pre-commercialization in the supply and conditioning of forest biomass for bioenergy production.
The announcement was made by Maïté Blanchette Vézina, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry and Minister responsible for the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions, and Benoit Charette, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks and Minister responsible for the Laurentians.
On May 21, thanks to this financial support, the CRIBIQ launched a call for projects aimed at providing financial backing for industrial projects that use forest biomass to produce bioenergy. Financial assistance is available for up to C$200,000 per project.
