CRIBE Expanding Wood Waste Program

The Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio-Economy is announcing that their partnership with Greenfield Alcohols is being extended.
The provincial research corporation is putting an additional $1.3-million into a project that looks to make pulp mills more efficient and provide new sources of revenue.
CRIBE CEO Lorne Morrow says if successful it would mean less waste for mills.
Morrow notes this is where the industry must go to be profitable.
The technology will be tested at the Terrace Bay Mill, with the goal of extracting clean sugar from hardwood.
$1.5-million has already been invested in the program.
