biorefining research institute


the biorefining research institute (bri) operates based on the concept for complete utilization of lignocellulosic biomass for sustainable production of bioenergy and value-added bioproducts. we strive to synergistically employ various production and conversion platforms of lignocelluloses in a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly manner in order to maximize the value extracted from these biomaterials.

our strategic plan


the biorefining research institute (bri) strives to be the leading centre for innovation for forest biorefining technologies.

this technology will contribute to social and economic development across northern ontario and canada through transforming the forest industry in a sustainable way and contributing to the growing bioeconomy.
