The government of Quebec on May 24 awarded a three-year $1.15 million grant to the Consortium for Research and Innovation in Industrial Bioprocesses in Quebec&nbsp;(CRIBIQ). CRIBIQ, a government-funded nonprofit, will use that funding to provide financial assistance to bioenergy projects.&nbsp;The $1.15 million awarded to CRIBIQ aims to promote innovation and pre-commercialization linked to the supply and packaging of forest biomass for bioenergy production. With the newly awarded financial support, BRIBIQ has launched a targeted call for projects that aims to provide support for industrial projects that promote forest biomass for bioenergy production.&nbsp;The initiative aims to stimulate innovation in the forest biomass bioenergy sector, supporting the government’s goal of reducing Quebec’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 37.5% by 2030 when compared with a 1990 baseline. The funding also supports Quebec’s goals of reducing the consumption of petroleum products by 40%, increasing renewable energy production by 25%, and increasing bioenergy production by 50%.&nbsp;Quebec produces more than 3.5 million metric tons of forest residues each year, along with 7.7 million metric tons of sawmill residues. The funding opportunity aims to support the use of these materials in bioenergy applications, including the production of heat, power, wood pellets, biochar or biofuels.&nbsp;CRIBIQ will award up to $200,000 to each selected project. Letters of intent are due Aug. 9, with full applications due Oct. 4.
