Biofuel refinery?

A new study calls for Nova Scotia to develop a biofuel-refinery which would produce an alternative fuel from wood waste.

Researchers at Nova Scotia’s Innovation Hub say fuel could be used to heat homes, power boats and other things. It says there’s enough renewable fibre generated in the province to supply a commercial scale plant.

It could also use waste from farm crops and municipal solid waste sources.

TransCanada moves quickly on Keystone XL

TransCanada Corp has submitted a new application for a presidential permit to build the Keystone XL pipeline to cawrry Alberta crude to the U-S gulf coast.

The application comes after President Donald Trump signed an order earlier this week to expedite the project. He also included a new requirement for the pipeline to be made with American steel and fabricated in the U-S. TransCanada, based in Calgary, made no mention of that in its statement, just stressing that it would create thousands of American jobs.
