A new study suggests the costs of future bioprocessing projects in Ontario and Quebec are lower than had earlier been suggested.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture partnered with a Quebec group to model supply chain costs for future projects.
Earlier studies confirmed ample crop residue supply, but cost projections at that time were high.
After two years of work with various value chain players, the latest study found efficiencies at every step of the supply chain.
The OFA-backed study will help set benchmarks for future operators involved in aggregating and delivering biomass.
It's developed a robust supply chain logistics model that gives greater reliability of farmers ability to supply feedstock to bioprocessors at the necessary scale and for a competitive price.
