Renewable energy developer Cape Breton Explorations has outlined its plans to develop a biomass plant in Sydney, Canada.

The plant is expected to entail an investment of $36m and will produce 50,000MWh of electricity per annum for local consumption.

Proposed to be located at Harbourside Commercial Park, the biomass plant will also produce fuel to power buses and fertilizers as a by-product.

Cape Breton president Luciano Lisi noted that the project was fully funded.

Lockheed Martin will provide the engineering and construction services for the project and has commenced work on the preliminary design of the plant, added Lisi.

Construction on the plant is expected to commence in the middle of 2013 with December 2014 set as the target for commercial operations.

Nova Scotia Deputy Premier Frank Corbett remarked that the province was keen to develop clean energy sources for the community to offer cheaper fuels and reduced emissions.

The biomass plant will be developed under the Community-Feed-in Tariff program and meet 20% of the city's energy requirements.
