Comet Biorefining Awarded Grant for Bio-Based Chemicals Plant
LONDON, Ontario – Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) has awarded Comet Biorefining Inc. a grant of CA$10.9 million for the construction of its first-of-a-kind advanced bio-based chemicals plant. Located in Sarnia, Ontario, the plant will use proprietary conversion technology to transform corn stover, an agricultural residue, into high-purity dextrose sugar.
SDTC supports the development of technologies that address the challenges of clean air, soil, water and climate change. As a building block for bio-based solutions – replacements for petroleum-based products – Comet’s dextrose sugar will help reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions.
