The Sustainable Development Technology Canada’s SD Tech Fund invested $53 million in 17 new clean technology projects across Canada in the areas of agriculture, transportation, mining and energy. Of those 17, four directly went to biodiesel and biorefining-related projects.
Sarnia, Ontario-based biodiesel fuel developer Azule Fuels Inc. received $1.6 million from the SDTC to develop a second-gen biorefinery to demonstrate commercial feasibility and acceptance of biodiesel production using feedstocks that aren’t competitive with consumer food chains.
