BioMass Canada Cluster 2023-2028 Renewal Letter Of Intent

The BioMass Canada Cluster has called for Letters of Intent (LOI) from those wishing to contribute to our application to the AgriScience Program Renewal (2023-2028). Deadline was January 24, 2022. For any questions, contact Dr. Xiaomin Zhou (xiaomin.zhou@mcgill.ca).

2021 and before:

Building the Bioeconomy

Biomass Canada –  Fuelling the Canadian Bioeconomy

Low-cost Sorghum Biomass

Biomass Canada need your help

A group of graduate students involved in Biomass Canada prepared a survey for farmers, biomass related industries and businesses, researcher, policy maker and/or legislator. Find the link to the appropriate survey here!

Food For Thought

Converting Biomass to High Value Feedstock Offers Food for Thought. Find out more about the project focused on “Development of Logistics, Pretreatment and Commercialization of Agri-pellets”, led by UBC’s Dr. Shahab Sokhansanj. 

Project Promotes Pellet Production

While “dense” may not be a quality coveted by humans, it has distinct advantages when it comes to biomass. Identifying and achieving those benefits were critical goals of the project “Application of thermo-chemical and hydrothermal pretreatments in the production of fuel pellets using agricultural wastes”.

High Hopes for Low Input Biologicals

The study aims to develop biological inputs for Canadian crop production, including microbial strains and biostimulants such as flavonoids, and isolate novel plant-growth-promoting microbes from Canadian crop and uncultivated plants.
