A multidisciplinary research team led by Évelyne Thiffault, a researcher at the CRMR of Université Laval, has designed a diagnostic tool to support projects for the valorization of forest biomass, consisting of logging residues, sawmill remnants or construction residues.
The tool has been tested with the Communauté métropolitaine de Québec: decision-makers can analyze, for example, the possible impacts of replacing a particularly polluting oil system in an arena with different bioenergy options, from environmental, economic and social perspectives.
This research project is supported by the FRQNT.
