Is there a good location for flax straw? Saskatchewan is ½ Forest and ½ Agriculture Mixed Agricultural and Forestry Biomass
Is there potential for this technology? • SRC Bioprocessing Services linked to Flax Straw • Third Party Technology Assessment (Technology Providers) • Commercial Technology Assessment and Demonstration (Technology Seekers) • Syngas and Pyrolysis Product Utilization Lab • Syngas to Ethanol Technology • Syngas to Fischer-Tropsch Technology • Pyrolysis Product Utilization for Char and Bio-Oil • Pilot Facilities • Pyrolysis – 1 tonne/day • Gasification – 5 tonne/day (@ design criteria) • Pilot Technology Demonstration
