Dynamotive was invited to consider the establishment of plants in the parish with proposed sites, biomass supplies and attractive incentives offered.
The size of plants under discussion could process 220 tons per day of wood waste biomass to produce 225,000 barrels of BioOil and 14,000 tons of carbon char per annum. The total renewable energy production will be equivalent to more than 175,000 barrels per year of crude oil.
The potential location of the project is at the North Webster Parish Industrial Park, north of Shreveport, Louisiana. Dynamotive has been actively assessing potential plant sites in a number of states since 2007.
In December 2007, the company announced the selection of Willow Springs, Missouri, as the location for a similar facility. If negotiations are successful, North Webster Parish would be the location of a second Dynamotive site in the US.
