Ecostrat Inc. and the BMI Group are collaborating to repurpose former pulp and paper mills in Canada into biorefineries using BDO Zone Ratings. This framework will prepare BMI's legacy industrial sites for biofuel production and related biobased industries, addressing investment confidence in biomass supply.

The initiative is significant for biofuel developers reliant on stable supply chains. BMI has acquired nine mill sites, with the Bioveld North project in Espanola, Ontario, exemplifying the model by focusing on advanced materials and renewable energy. The collaboration signals private-sector support for BDO Zone assessments nationwide, reinforcing Canada's ambition in sustainable biofuels.
