, AS A PARTNER IN THE TECHNOLOGY GROUP, AIREX ENERGY WILL HELP DE-RISK AND ACCELERATE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT IN BDO ZONES ,
June 21st, 2022 Eastern Daylight Time
Ecostrat is pleased to announce that Airex Energy has joined the BDO Zone Strategic Alliance as a partner in the Technology Group. BDO Zone Strategic Alliance Partners include some of the leading companies in the bioenergy industry that help de-risk biobased project development in BDO Zones.
“Airex Energy is honored to join the BDO Zone Initiative and contribute to investments in new biomass-based manufacturing plants”, says Yvan Guay, Vice-President of Business Development. “Our biomass carbonization systems enable large-scale production of biocoal pellets, a clean and renewable alternative to coal used in industrial processes, as well as biochar needed to remove carbon from the atmosphere and sequester it for hundreds of years.”
Jordan Solomon, President of Ecostrat, states: “The BDO Zone Initiative welcomes Airex Energy as the newest Technology Partner in the growing BDO Zone Strategic Alliance. The addition of Airex and its innovative technology will provide project developers the capacity to harness proven and cost-effective systems to help decarbonize the environment.”
American biomass provides an economic development engine with the potential to create 160,000 jobs and nearly $15 billion of economic benefit. In Canada, national economic impact potential is estimated at 16,060 direct, indirect, and induced jobs and over $1.48 billion annually of economic benefit. The BDO Zone Initiative can help North America realize this potential by supporting new market development for bioenergy, advanced biofuels, biobased heat and power, bio-materials, and clean hydrogen.

About The BDO Zone Initiative
The BDO Zone Initiative (www.bdozone.org) is an economic development platform that enables local communities to deploy powerful economic development tools , BDO Zone Ratings , to achieve the goal of driving, accelerating and catalyzing biobased investment and commercial project development in BDO Zone-designated regions for new biofuel, renewable chemical, biogas and bioproduct plants. BDO Zone Ratings do this by carrying out credible technical evaluations on feedstock and infrastructure risk, and then enabling communities to effectively signal and promote key feedstock and infrastructure “success” characteristics valued by biobased developers and investors around the world.
‘AA’ or ‘A’ rated BDO Zones identify the best areas for low-risk bioeconomy project development. BDO Zone Ratings enable distressed communities to add capacity to support deployment of innovative technology and infrastructure, and this drives regional economic development to areas where poverty has been persistent for generations, harnessing natural resources to support biobased manufacturing and renewable energy production.
BDO Zones have the ability to move the needle on job creation, decarbonization, and social justice. By achieving the goal of 1,000 BDO Zones in four years across the U.S., this Initiative has the potential to create more than 160,000 clean jobs, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2.59%, and provide $30,000,000/year into the local economy.
The BDO Zone Strategic Alliance Partnership is divided into four groups: Capital Markets Partners, Project Partners, Technology Partners, and Supply Chain Partners.
