Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) has awarded Comet Biorefining, Inc. a grant of CA$10.9 million for the construction of its first-of-a-kind advanced bio-based chemicals plant. Located in Sarnia, Ontario, the plant will use proprietary conversion technology to transform corn stover, an agricultural residue, into high-purity dextrose sugar.
Our CEO Kathryn Sheridan will chair the Bio-based Chemicals Stream on Day Two of the 11th World Bio Markets conference. She will also moderate the sessions ‘Framing the biobased chemicals industry in the context of the global petrochemical industry to navigate the challenges and capitalise on the opportunities’ and ‘Success stories in bio-based chemical financing – how money has helped ideas become a commercial reality’ on 15 March. This is the fourth time Kathryn has moderated at WBM.
