Rainforest Energy, Infinity Biofuels sign MOU (Canadian Biomass Magazine)
Excerpt from Canadian Biomass Magazine: RFEC is a private company formed in 2019 to finance, develop, and operate bio-gasoline projects. Based in Calgary, Alta., the company is currently proposing two projects of which one is in Canada and the other is in the United States. The proposed Canadian location is near Wabamun Lake, Alta., approximately 80 kilometres (50 miles) west of Edmonton. The U.S. project will be co-located with an existing wood-fired power plant at West Enfield, Maine which is 48 kilometres (30 miles) north of Bangor.
Each bio-refinery will produce a target 67.8 million litres (17.9 million USG) annually of Octane 94 bio-gasoline with no benzene and virtually no sulfur. A variety of waste biomass feedstocks can be utilized with natural gas as a back-up supply. The initial feedstock sources will include forestry trash, tree culling, sawmill residue, and retired railroad ties. Capital outlays for each refinery are estimated at CAD $155 million (USD $121 million), including working capital. READ MORE
