General Information

Dynamotive’s flagship 200 tonnes per day plant is located in Guelph, Ontario. The plant is being developed with MegaCity Recycling Inc. and is about a 45-minute drive west of Toronto. It will operate under the name Evolution Biofuels Inc.

The Guelph plant will incorporate important technological advances gained through operating the West Lorne, Ontario plant.

The pyrolysis plant comprises eight fully assembled modules. The plant will process, once in full operation, 66,000 dry tonnes of biomass a year and have an energy output equivalent to 130,000 barrels of oil (BOE).

Biomass operations are underway at the site. MegaCity takes waste construction and demolition wood from the private sector and it is estimated that 3,000 tonnes of clean recycled wood has been received. Approximately 15,000 tonnes of feedstock will be on site in readiness for the start-up.

The site has the capacity for up to four plants as well as administrative and engineering offices and, potentially, Dynamotive’s technical research and development function. Two existing pilot and demonstration plants may also be moved to the site.

Fabrication and construction is modular to minimize on-site activities and allow for the rapid deployment of plants. Dynamotive has used advanced modeling and fabrication methods to achieve this flexibility.
