Neste and Bioenergy La Tuque have started a collaboration to evaluate the potential of forest residues as a feedstock for biofuel production in La Tuque, Canada. The project supports Neste's goal of expanding the feedstock selection for biofuel production as well as increasing the use of waste and residues.

The collaboration between the two will focus on the technological and economical feasibility of the project and will evaluate biomass availability, identify technology bottlenecks in process lines, and validate the acceptable level of risk.
