BDO Zone Rating

Trois-Rivières, QC BDO Zone Overview

Feedstock quantities are expressed in bone dry tons per year (bdt/yr), while feedstock costs are expressed in CAD ($). Maximum transport distance is based on a 150-KM driving distance from the center point (Trois-Rivières, QC).

BDO Zone Assets:

475,000 bdt/yr of woody biomass available at low-risk
Strong forestry and wood industry sectors with a long history of performance
Access to a large number of potential suppliers, including sawmills and logging contractors
Despite the potential to process a significant amount of Roundwood, sawmills within the Zone are currently utilizing only 68% of the available volume

BDO Zone Liabilities:

The significant distance from the proponent to the feedstock suppliers poses a high risk
Forest Residue supply chains are not developed and require capital investment to scale up
Ownership of logging equipment poses risk due to the increased cost of equipment and an aging logging workforce
Delivered costs for Sawmill Residuals could increase by 10- 15% if there is a new large entrant that utilizes only this feedstock
