The results will be witnessed and validated by a third-party. The project is partially funded by Bioindustrial Innovation Canada, a business accelerator focused on enabling Ontario and Canada to become a global leader in converting renewable resources. In conjunction with this, Aduro Clean Technologies has established its headquarters at the Western Sarnia-Lambton Research Park in Sarnia, Ontario.
"Canada's future rests on a thriving clean technology sector to not only provide solutions to significant environmental challenges but also to contribute to economic growth and sustainability," said Sandy Marshall, Executive Director of Bioindustrial Innovation Canada. "To achieve these goals, we support innovative companies like Aduro Clean Technologies that are building unique chemistry solutions that have the potential to transform industries and create a green economy."
Aduro Clean Technologies has also added key members to its team in preparation for the upcoming demonstration and planned client trials. Joining as Senior Advisor Technical and Regulatory Affairs is Dr. Ian McLennan.

Ian was responsible for scaling up one of the technology platforms at Ecosynthetix and managed regulatory affairs at ECO for 18 years. Ian has managed R&D programs in the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands, and France.
