The cluster's research aims to drive innovation and help improve technologies for processing agricultural biomass that can then be used as a renewable and sustainable starting material for production of cleaner bioenergy, and other bio-based products.The focus will be on three key areas of research including:
- Advanced technologies to boost biomass production;
- Using biomass heat and energy to extend the greenhouse growing season in Northern Canada; and
- Reducing production costs and expanding export markets for biomass.
McGill University is receiving up to $888,061 to fund a project that will focus on the development of biological inputs that will enhance the growth of biomass crops including switchgrass. READ MORE
