The lignin recovery plant introduced to the forest products industry as part of FPInnovations’ new Bio-economy Technology Centre in Thunder Bay, ON has attracted a great deal of interest.

Stakeholders in the lignin plant include NORAM, FPInnovations, the Ministry of Research and Innovation of Ontario, the Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio-economy (CRIBE), and AbitibiBowater’s Thunder Bay mill.
