New Venture Will See Pellet Production in Northwest
Prince George, B.C. – A new venture will see the creation of a bioenergy pellet producing plant east of Prince Rupert.
GITXSAN Bio-Energy will be jointly owned by a group of First Nations and Korean investors. It promises to be the first, large scale commercial development of “torrefied” black pellets that will be exported.
The $26 million dollar facility will be built in Carnaby, next to the CN Rail line 216 km east of Prince Rupert. The project will create 40 full time jobs at the plant, and another 30 in forest operations. Construction is expected to start this summer, and be complete in early 2015.
Global Bio-Coal Energy (GBCE) of Vancouver will supply its Wyssmont, licensed/patented technology and construction management for the plant construction for the facility.
Engineering and related tasks are currently underway with business details being finalized.
The project proponents say there is enough fibre supply to allow the company to produce 200,000 tonnes of pellets annually

Good news for the people around Hazelton as if the facility is at Carnaby, that is only a few km west of Hazelton
Maybe on the old millsite?
“Engineering and related tasks are currently underway”. I recommend they get goods engineers for their project. Quality engineering costs more to produce but usually results in a more cost effective project. http://www.linkedin.com/groups/It-seems-that-risks-imposed-1701607.S.118309781
Good news, but history has taught me to believe it when I see it.

Hazelton has been in an economic slump for years. This will be a good boost to the Hazelton economy.
