Success Story
Alberta BioBord
About Alberta BioBord
Alberta BioBord has designed a project to produce straw based fuel pellets and fibreboard using wheat straw as the raw material.
Wood fibre costs have continued to rise as supply has failed to keep pace with demand. Alberta BioBord plans on building the world’s highest capacity straw fibre MDF board & value add integrated factory.
With the research behind straw fibre for MDF completed eight years ago, the technology has only been adopted and commercialized in Southeast Asia despite originally being developed in Alberta. Alberta BioBord is bringing it back to Alberta where it can benefit farmers, workers, investors, and consumers.

The Campaign
As the world seeks sustainable solutions, agricultural biomass is rapidly becoming the smartest choice, with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Alberta BioBord’s initiative will provide a greenhouse gas emissions reduction equivalent to removing over 500,000 vehicles off the road each year.
Important to the Alberta BioBord model is allowing their local community to grow and benefit along side their business. To do just that, Alberta BioBord launched an Equity Crowdfunding campaign on Equivesto to allow their local community access to invest along side their institutional and governmental partners.
In September, when the campaign came to a close, Alberta BioBord had raised over 112.91% of their target funding goal of $50,000.
