BioSila Canada Corp. announced today they have entered into an
agreement with Toronto based, Atlantic Wind & Solar Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: AWSL), to incorporate a 500kW solar energy system on
the rooftop of one of their biomass fuel manufacturing plants.
BioSila Chairman, Mr. John Mumlek, comments, "As part of our
commitment to preserving the environment, utilizing our 200,000
square foot Mattawa plant rooftop for a solar energy park was an
obvious choice, and is right in line with our overall business
model."
Under the terms of the agreement, the energy produced from the
solar plant will be sold to the Ontario Power Authority, as part of
the provinces Feed In Tariff program.
Over the next 20 years, the system is expected to generate
enough solar electricity to power approximately 100 local homes,
and will offset the emissions of over 10,350 tons of harmful CO2
gases into the earth's atmosphere. (The equivalent to planting
50,000 trees.)
The BioSila Complex, located in Northeastern Ontario, will
produce 252,000 tons of European-standard, power-plant grade, wood
pellet fuel for the industrial, commercial and residential biomass
energy markets using state of the art production systems. The new
production facility is scheduled to open in 2012.
The company plans to incorporate a 10-megawatt co-generation
facility on the site, which will also be part of the Province's
green energy initiative program.
