An assessment of the viability of exploiting bio-energy resources accessible to the Atikokan generating station in Northwestern Ontario

Ontario Ministry of Energy An Assessment of the Viability of Exploiting Bio-Energy Resources Accessible to the Atikokan Generating Station in Northwestern Ontario Final Report Forest BioProducts Inc. [...] The availability and landed cost of the biomass feedstocks were expressed in terms of 100 km increments from the Atikokan GS and originating from Canada: Figure I. Distance classes used in this study. [...] The third component of Table I lists the landed cost (FOB Atikokan GS) of this biomass as a function of distance from the Atikokan GS, which integrates all cost components for procurement, processing and transport. [...] Refuse Derived Fuel n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a $82 $82 Steering Committee members have forwarded the following unsolicited project pre- proposals to FBi for consideration in the study: • Atikokan Power Corporation, a company to be formed for the specific purpose of owning and operating the Atikokan GS and targeting the use of forest biomass based on fluidized bed boiler technologies; • Triangle Energy Gr [...] Competition with current forest users and potential losses of value-added opportunities are identified as a potential issue of concern in the region with respect to the procurement of forest biomass.
