Revelstoke Moutaineer
A Vancouver-based company Emergent Waste Solutions (EWS) is exploring building a bio-waste processing facility in Revelstoke. The facility would process waste including wood chips into byproducts like bio oil and carbon. They would then be resold. EWS is looking for city support in principle to locate their plant in Revelstoke. The proposed facility plant uses the combustion-free pyrolysis process to superheat and steam the bio-waste, breaking it down into marketable by-products including carbon, activated carbon and bio-oil. The products are then sold on for use in a wide array of applications, including agriculture, filters, fuels and more.
