A four-month-long project in northeastern British Columbia – in which low-grade residual wood fibre was harvested for pellet production through funding
“FESBC was allocated $3 million from the provincial government as a part of its StrongerBC For Everyone: B.C.’s Economic Recovery Plan to deploy to projects that would increase the utilization of wood fibre throughout the province,” said Ray Raatz, RPF, Operations Manager, FESBC.
“The submission from Duz Cho Logging and Canfor Energy North was well thought out and we collectively could envision how it might be a catalyst for more of this kind of work in the Northeast region of B.C.”
The society says without funding leftover wood is piled and burned resulting in greater amounts of greenhouse gas emissions than compared to what was released through the project.
