BIOMASS
Fostering Wood Processing Success

Dryden Area Woodshed

Dryden is ideally situated in the centre of the Northwestern Ontario’s wood basket. Our proximity to premium quality second growth fibre and residual forest biomass from no less than 9 forest licenses makes Dryden an attractive place for the manufacturing of bio-based products. We have access to the economic sources of renewable, sustainable and currently underutilized forest fibre, the required transportation routes and infrastructure to deliver fibre to the mill, plus the municipally owned land and infrastructure required. Our existing hydro infrastructure would allow us to use the power locally or transmit it to other places within the region. Dryden is a community that welcomes and endorses the development of a carbon neutral, renewable energy solution. Dryden has a large pool of available well-trained workers to harvest, deliver and renew the fibre and to build and operate the plant. Dryden is located in an environment where the provincial government has actively encouraged alternative and non-traditional uses of forest biomass.
