"In 2011, the Ontario Government passed the Ontario Forest Modernization Act. The passing of the act represented a significant milestone in modernizing forest tenure in Ontario. The direction of the Ontario government under tenure modernization is to no longer issue supply agreements but to have proponents enter into business to business arrangements with the Sustainable Forest License (SFL) holders for access to fibre. In October 2012 the Minister endorsed a Principles Document intended to guide the transition to Enhanced SFLs (eSFL)." Deal killing details, IMO.
What I don't get is why someone would build an amazing pellet mill like that when all the fiber around it is sub par for pellets ?? Poplar and Birch .....
Birch makes great pellets. I only use poplar for the biomass combustor, not pellets. There's a few other species to avoid too. But it looks like their plan was to make industrial pellets.
