Nexterra and UBC will collaborate on a project at UBC and at Nexterra’s product development center in Kamloops, British Columbia.
The parties will together find a lower cost catalytic process for removing tars from the synthetic gas produced by the company’s gasification technology.
Clean Energy Processes Canada Research Chair professor John Grace said biomass gasification has untapped potential for the development and commercialization of new synthetic bioenergy fuels and products.
Nexterra is a supplier of biomass gasification solutions that generate renewable heat, power and syngas for institutional and industrial customers.
