Nexterra technology confirmed for two Canadian projects Written by Giles Clark, London Monday, 28 July 2008 biofuelreview.com Biomass gasification technology from Nexterra Energy has been selected for two of 15 projects under the Government of British Columbia's Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) Fund, it was announced last week (18th July). The $25 million ICE Fund supports the BC Energy Plan and the government's goals of electricity self-sufficiency by 2016 and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent by 2020. "We're building on B.C.'s proven track record in bringing innovation to the energy sector by funding these 15 projects," said Petroleum Resources Minister Richard Neufeld. "By delivering on this BC Energy Plan commitment, we're leading the effort to meet our ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction and clean energy targets." "Nexterra is thrilled to be a part of this BC clean energy showcase," said company President and CEO Jonathan Rhone. "We look forward to working with UNBC, Kruger and other BC companies to develop gasification projects that meet their energy needs in ways that significantly reduce both costs and greenhouse gas emissions. We're also pleased that our proven technology is helping position BC as a world leader in alternative energy and power technology." ICE Fund projects announced today include: Biomass Gasification Project at University of Northern British Columbia Prince George – $3.5 million UNBC is proposing to work with Nexterra Energy Corporation to implement a system to gasify mountain pine beetle infested biomass, producing heat to fire a boiler at the power plant on campus to heat university buildings. This showcase project, the first of its kind at a Canadian university, will be a catalyst for replication, research and economic development. Biomass gasification could displace up to 80 per cent of the fossil fuel currently used to heat buildings on the UNBC campus. Direct Fired Boiler Biomass Gasification Demonstration Project New Westminster – $1.5 million Nexterra Energy Corporation will work with FP Innovations and Kruger Products Ltd. to apply its biomass gasification technology for industrial use. The consortium will demonstrate a direct fired biomass gasification system (turning forest/wood waste into gas to produce heat) for use at the Kruger tissue mill in New Westminster. ICE Fund support will help achieve replication and commercialization of the process.
