City in Quebec, Global Clean to test gasification project

Dec. 10 -- The city of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec, is joining with Global Clean Energy Inc. to test a gasification project to convert municipal solid waste and industrial waste into synthetic gas and biodiesel fuel.

Global Clean Energy´s system uses high-pressure, high-temperature steam in an oxygen-free reactor, the company said.

"Gasification of the municipal waste is an important milestone in our sustainable development action plan," Mayor Denis Lapointe said.

"Salaberry-de-Valleyfield always seeks innovative projects that will help the city in its quest for clean sustainable development," he said.

The project received a grant from the Green Municipal Fund of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
