The project will support the ongoing development of LNFMI’s Hurkett Biohub Facility, a first-of-its-kind forest products Biohub wholly owned by a First Nation corporation. The facility will operate as a centralized forest products hub that can receive wood in any form, process it to achieve the highest level of utilization and ensure the best suited wood products are sent to the most suitable user(s). The Biohub will operate in tandem with a biofuel plant; residuals generated from the Biohub operation will serve as the feedstock for the adjacent biofuel plant, thus promoting a value-added and zero-waste recovery process.
The project builds on the success of LNFMI’s earlier project, which was also partially funded by CRIBE.
