Next Generation Biofuels Fund
Cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel technologies are emerging and therefore have greater technology risk than more established industries.
With the NextGen Biofuels Fund™, SDTC’s aim is to increase each project’s chances of success to market by helping them bridge the high CAPEX gap while, at the same time, helping them to scale-up their technology solution to a large, demonstration-scale plant.
Eligible projects must focus on the development and demonstration of new technologies that address issues of climate change, clean air, water and soil quality. The projects must be undertaken primarily in Canada.
