Envergent Technologies, LLC, announced on Thursday that construction has begun on its innovative renewable fuels facility in Quebec.
The facility, which is located in Port Cartier, Quebec, on the shore of the St. Lawrence River, will convert forest residues from local sources into liquid green fuel, using the company’s proprietary RTP technology. Once completed, the facility will convert 65,000 dry metric tons per year of forest residues into approximately 10 million gallons per year of RTP green fuel.
“The value of the RTP technology is that it’s a proven and efficient method to convert lower-value forest residuals into a higher-value liquid fuel,” Robert Rose, managing director for Envergent said. “The RTP process converts biomass such as agricultural and forest residuals into a transportable and nearly carbon-neutral liquid fuel.”
The liquid green fuel produced at the Port Cartier facility will be used for institutional and industrial heating, as well as a renewable refinery feedstock for the production of low-carbon transportation fuels. Produced from non-edible woody biomass, RTP green fuel is produced without the use of materials that are in demand for use in the cultivation of food and animal feeds.
Envergent anticipates that the liquid green fuel facility will come online in late 2017.
