#20 Port-Cartier, Quebec – Ensyn’s Biocrude Expansion Project Under Construction
The Côte-Nord Project is a 10.5 million gallons/year (approximately 40 million litres/year) biocrude production facility located in Port-Cartier, Quebec. This project, being developed by Ensyn, Arbec Forest Products and Groupe Rémabec, is sited adjacent to Arbec’s sawmill on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Project start-up is scheduled for mid-2018. The Côte-Nord Project is the first of several production plants being developed by Ensyn to expand the production of biocrude for energy applications.
The project is being financed by partner equity, funding from the Government of Canada (Sustainable Development Technology Canada and the Department of Natural Resources Canada), and Investissement Quebec, the leading Quebec Provincial financing corporation. Ensyn owns 50% of the equity of the project.
The Côte-Nord Project will convert approximately 65,000 dry metric tons per year of slash and other forest residues from local sources to biocrude. The biocrude will be sold to customers in the U.S. Northeast and in Eastern Canada for heating purposes and as a renewable feedstock for petroleum refineries for the production of low carbon transportation fuels.
