Scrap wood could now become a valuable comodity thanks to some new Canadian technology. Canadian company converts wood into 'bio oil'. And it is enviroment friendly too!
"Instead of transporting this wood waste or burning them and making pollution, we produce clean energy," explained Gholam Yavari, of DynaMotive. "And it's clean, environmentally friendly and pollution-free and greenhouse-gas neutral." The company uses the oil to power a new turbine generator that produces 2,500 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power 1,400 homes. This maybe a solution to the softwood lumber industries woes as well. A whole new market is evolving.
