Bioindustrial Innovation Canada Executive Director Dr. Murray McLaughlin says their evaluation and recommendations over the coming months will consider economics, availability and supply of non-food biomass such as corn stover and wheat straw, available conversion technologies and potential markets.
The project is expected to be complete by the end of October 2015.
