Abbotsford, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/24/2017 --Biomass Secure Power Inc. (OTCMKTS:BMSPF). Biomass Secure Power (BSP) is delighted to advise shareholders that after lengthy discussions and a meeting held at the Port of Natchitoches Louisiana on March 14 the Company is pleased to announce the selection of Amec Foster Wheeler as the EPC and Preliminary Engineering partner for Natchitoches Phase 1.

Natchitoches Phase 1 is for the installation of equipment to produce 240,000 tonnes/yr. of Biocoal. Amec Foster Wheeler has been selected because of the wealth of experience it has with industrial and renewable facilities and breadth of environmental, engineering, procurement, and self-perform construction capabilities. The decision to engage Amec Foster Wheeler gives the Company the confidence that the project will be successfully completed on time and on budget.

Phase 1 at Natchitoches is the first of three planned phases that will increase the plant production rate to one million tonne per year. Biocoal is a torrefied product used to generate heat and power for residential and industrial purposes and is a direct alternate sustainable fuel for brown coal in most circumstances. The major advantage Biocoal has over white pellets is that little if any CAPEX is required to convert coal fired power plants to this new sustainable fuel.
