Waste-to-fuel plant in Canada on track

A waste-to-fuel project spearheaded by Canada-based Green Energy Solution Industries has appointed a gasification technology provider.

GESI will work with International Technologies to bring the plant, to be located just outside Edmonton, online. It will be powered by old or disused railway ties of which GESI believes there are 1,800 per kilometre of track in Alberta alone.

International Technologies has patented some of its products which can handle creosoted railroad ties.
