Emerging Fuels Technology has licensed its Fischer-Tropsch technology to Highbury Energy Inc. for a project in Fort Frances, Ontario, supported by Wanagekong-Biiwega'iganan Clean Energy Corporation and Treaty 3 First Nations, to produce *20 million liters of low-carbon fuels annually from wood waste.
TULSA, Okla., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Emerging Fuels Technology (EFT), a leader in Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis and renewable fuel innovation and technology, has signed a Master License Agreement with Highbury Energy Inc. and a Site License with Wanagekong-Biiwega'iganan Clean Energy Corporation (WBCE Corp)—an Indigenous majority-owned and Indigenous-led joint venture with Highbury—aiming to produce renewable fuels from wood waste biomass feedstocks.Coupled with Highbury's advanced gasification technology, WBCE Corp will deploy EFT's proven Fischer-Tropsch technology at its first biorefinery in Fort Frances, Ontario. The facility will process wood waste from local mills and produce 20 million liters of low-carbon renewable fuels, including low-carbon intensity renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Leading the joint venture with Highbury are 10 proactive and forward-thinking Treaty 3 Fort Frances Ontario area First Nations, further underscoring the project's commitment to Indigenous leadership and environmental stewardship.
"Transportation companies, railways, airlines, and heavy truck operators are increasingly seeking low-carbon fuel sources to meet stricter emissions regulations, and this demand can benefit WBCE Corp. and the First Nation communities," said WBCE Corp President and Mitaanjigamiing First Nation Chief Janice Henderson.
"It is a chance for First Nations to do something good for our forests, it's our chance to do something good for the environment, and it's our chance to be rewarded for doing good things," said WBCE Corp. board member Chief Wayne Smith of the Naicatchewenin First Nation. "I see 'our time' as the time of an energy revolution — when we turn away from fuels that damage the environment and put life at risk and adopt fuels that are better for all living things."
