Yesterday it was announced that Bioindustrial Innovation Canada (BIC) would receive $6.6-million through the AgriScience Program - Clusters Component under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership. The Bioproducts Cluster will develop specialized technologies that turn renewable resources, such as agricultural residues, into useful bioenergy, biofuels, and biomaterials like ethanol and biodegradable plastics. Additionally, we have learned that as part of the cluster, a project in Alvinston will receive funding to work on novel or new soil amendments for growing various crops using residue materials. Bioindustrial Innovation Canada has been a critical stakeholder in the development of the Sarnia-Lambton Hybrid Chemistry Cluster, and investments like this from the Federal Government will go a long way in supporting continued development of clean, green, and sustainable chemistry innovations and technologies not just in Sarnia-Lambton, but across Canada. https://lnkd.in/dbgWT_M6 #innovation #SarniaLambton #bioindustrial #Bioproducts #sustainable #chemistry #biofuels #bioenergy #BIC #hybridchemistry #Lambton #research
