| ABOUT US |
| Peat Resources Limited is a Toronto-based clean
energy company, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, which was formed
to develop and produce peat fuel. The Company has identified large biomass resources of fuel-grade peat on its properties in Ontario and Newfoundland. The northwestern Ontario property contains over 200 million tonnes, sufficient to supply OPG’s (Ontario Power Generation) northern generating stations for more than 20 years. In Newfoundland, permits cover about 130,000 hectares of productive peatlands. Peat is biomass. It is used in electricity generating stations and other facilities requiring a long-term assured supply of environmentally favourable, economically competitive and consistent quality fuel. Peat Resources Limited aims to be the principal supplier of peat fuel, on a profitable and sustainable basis, to the North American energy market. |
Ontario Centre for Excellence for Energy allocated $1.6 million in provincial funds for two research projects on "wet harvesting of peat" and "co-firing of peat and biomass with coal for power generation". The research was carried out in the 2007-2009 period by scientists at Lakehead and McMaster Universities. Peat Resources Limited was a private sector partner with OPG and others in this research program. Results of the research are becoming available and an article New Peatland Research Site Established in Northwestern Ontario, Canada has appeared in a recent edition of the journal Peatlands International.
