  • Innofibre is a CCTT at the Cégep de Trois-Rivières focused on the paper & biorefining industry in Quebec.
  • The partnership involves PyroGenesis' technology at Innofibre's new $14 million pilot & pre-commercial facility, which is the only one of its kind in North America to mimic industrial production conditions.
