By Rosalind Russell – A clean-technology company is looking at being a tenant at the Domtar Mill in Espanola.
According to BMI, CHAR Technologies is considering setting up shop to produce renewable natural gas and a bio-coal product made from residual wood waste at the former Espanola pulp and paper mill.
The company adds as a renewable energy production facility at the mill site it will be called Bioveld North.
BMI is in completing the purchase of the property from Domtar, which closed the mill in 2023 with the deal expected to close later this month.
