The provincial government is investing in two projects to help Rentech Inc. a northern Ontario fibre company convert two idle wood product mills into wood pellet facilities.
4 million dollars in Northern Ontario Heritage Fund money is going towards the plants in Wawa and Atikokan.
The Wawa facility has already secured a sales contract with a UK based company for the production of wood pellets.
Atikokan will sell to Ontario Power Generation.
Wood pellets are being used to produce electricity in local and international power production facilities.
