Being a dumpster rental service provider for Colborne and Trenton we have seen pretty much everything being dumped into our delivered disposal bins as all types of waste that needs to be collected and disposed of properly. We’ve built a good reputation for service with waste collection and disposal in this part of Ontario, and you may well have seen red trucks with the Load n’ Lift logo on the side driving down the highway delivering one of dumpster bin rentals to a job site of any sort in this part of the Province.
As you’d expect, the one type of disposal waste we don’t see much of with our waste bin collection is bio waste, but when we look at what’s produced as waste on the Provincial level there’s been a real trend where this type of waste is increasingly redirected in recycling and disposal channels to be processed into biofuels. Now it’s also been expanded into biomass energy production, and as we can all know these days finding alternative and perhaps cleaner energy and fuel sources is something that’s important.
Governments are investing in research into the technology to capture biomass energy effectively, and that’s true here in Ontario too. Our area of expertise is always going to be dumpster rentals for Ameliasburg and area and rubbish removal services for this part of the Province between Peterborough and Kingston. But we’re always keen to learn more and then share with our blog readers about waste and recycling management technologies that are happening in the greater industry.
So let’s dig deeper on the way biomass energy potential is spurring the Provincial government here in Ontario to invest it. Right now it’s as interesting a topic as any in this sphere that we’re working in as a smaller contributor but still one that is contributing to the greater collective effort to collect and manage waste better.
Forest Biomass
The Government of Ontario is making an investment of $60 million in the Forest Biomass Program, and over the course of the next few years there will be major targeted investments in forest sector initiatives that are likely to promote both environmental sustainability goals and economic potential when making better use of underutilized wood and mill by products. Forest biomass is one of a few types here, but it’s the one that apparently has the most potential.
The expectation is that this new Forest Biomass Program will grow businesses, strengthen communities and create work opportunities that should be another beneficial spinoff coming from this investment.
Ministry statements collected have been along the lines of investing in technology, people and expertise and making smarter and more fruitful choices when the Province decides how it’s going to drive the forestry section into the future and hopefully make it a smart part of the switch to greener fuels and energy sources.
The announcement of additional funding follows the Forest Biomass Program’s third phase of investment, which committed more than $6.1 million to 12 research, innovation and modernization initiatives.
Better Waste Utilization as Fuel
The funds earmarked for this investment are primarily going in 3 directions.
$500,600 to Millson Forestry Service for equipment acquisition to support forest sector integration and specifically for converting wood residues into mulch, fulfilling local demand for mulch and compost and providing an on-site heating source for the facility’s greenhouse.
$250,000 to Apitipi Anicinapek Nation to work to improve community readiness and expand on the capacity to participate in forest biomass opportunities that will deliver economic, social and environmental benefits to Indigenous communities and local municipalities.
$250,000 to Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve to establish local community energy production by examining the feasibility of an advanced biochar/biocoal product that would begin development at a proposed fuel pellet plant facility in the territory.
$100,000 to Walker Environmental Group to invest in further advancements for forest biomass innovation plus financing the pursuit of environmental benefits by exploring cost-effective options to use biomass as a source of renewable natural gas and other low-carbon energy products.
Over the last 10+ months the Forest Biomass Program has committed over $17 million to 41 projects here in the Province, and that certainly suggests they see great potential in this and that it is something that has promise for being much more of a conventional approach to alternate fuels production in the future.
As of later this month and the official start of Spring for 2024 the Forest Biomass Program is set to begin receiving applications for businesses, municipalities, Indigenous communities and not-for-profit organizations in Ontario ready to lay out the details of any project that will also contribute to greater and more far-reaching use of forest biomass and enhancing the forest biomass supply chain so that this also becomes increasingly viable moving into the future.
