Pilot-scale refinery co-processing demonstrates a pathway to convert forest industry residues into low-carbon jet fuel using existing infrastructure.

PORT-CARTIER, QC, Sept. 30, 2026 /CNW/ -- ARC Bio, the Canadian joint venture between an affiliate of Bioénergie AE Cote-Nord Canada Inc. ("Bioénergie AECN") and Alder Renewables, today announced the successful demonstration of a pathway to produce sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF") from Canadian forest residues through refinery co-processing.
