The County of Renfrew and Ecostrat are pleased to announce the issue of an investment grade BDO Zone Rating for Woody Biomass. The Zone is centred in Pembroke, Ontario, and is the province’s first ‘AA’ rating for Pulpwood.
Renfrew County’s BDO Zone ‘AA’ rating denotes very high prospective viability of feedstock supply chain and infrastructure, and very low expectations of default risk in the Zone. They indicate very strong ongoing capacity of the region to support new biobased plant operations. The Zone features an ample supply of pulpwood and offers a strategic advantage in transportation costs over most competitors due to close proximity to major sawmill clusters around Pembroke. The Zone predominantly consists of public forests adhering to rigorous certification and strict ecological guidelines, ensuring a sustainable wood supply from certified forests.
Application Deadline: Extended to Monday, April 29th
