Who we are

The Ontario Biomass Producers is a group of Ontario farmers exploring the sustainable production and marketing of biomass crops.

Non-farmers who are engaged in the biomass industry can participate at OBPC with an associate membership.

We are currently exploring:

• Marketing opportunities
• Production of purpose grown biomass crops
• Harvesting of crop byproducts
• Transportation and storage issues
• Generating or co-generating electricity form biomass
• Structure and financing options for a biomass production co-operative
• Densifying of biomass (ie:  pelleting, briquetting)
• Biomass heat energy
• Biomass as a feedstock for the productions of fuels
• Biomass for the production of composite fibre boards
• Biomass for the production of plastic products
• Animal Bedding (dairy, pet market etc)
• Biomass as a substrate for mushroom farming
• Quality mulch for landscaping and vegetable farming
