A number of waste to energy and biofuel projects are to receive funding from the Canadian federal government following its $82 million backing for 55 innovative new projects aimed at producing and using energy in a cleaner, more efficient way.
The support is being provided through the Government's ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative, which was first introduced in the 2011 Budget, and is administered by Natural Resources Canada.
Among the beneficiaries of the funding was Enerkem, which was awarded a total of just over $4 million for two of its projects.
