FÉDÉRATION QUÉBÉCOISE DES COOPÉRATIVES FORESTIÈRES

Program Purpose:

The objective of this Project is to develop, improve and optimize sustainable forest bioenergy systems that are profitable and efficient in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in forest communities. The Project would enable the deployment of a biomass supply of 350,000 oven-dry tons allocated to Quebec cooperatives, which would replace the equivalent of over 4 million gigajoules of fossil energy, or over 300,000 tons of GHG. These benefits would be achieved following deployment of the biomass supply for adaptation to forest community settings in the rest of Canada.
