On March 8, city council heard a joint presentation by Sustane Technologies and Canfor representatives regarding two proposed biomass/biofuel projects they hope to be up and running by the end of 2022. The plant is being proposed to sit on the site of Canfor’s Intercontinental Mill, at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers, approximately 2 km from Cottonwood Nature Park and within 5 km of Prince George’s downtown area.
