      QUÉBEC, le 12 mai 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Fondaction CSN est fier de se joindre au gouvernement du Québec et à la Fédération québécoise des coopératives forestières pour annoncer le démarrage du Fonds Biomasse Énergie. La gestion de ce fonds, le premier du genre au Québec, est confiée à Fondaction CSN.

      Le Fonds Biomasse Énergie est doté d'une capitalisation de 20,2 millions de dollars provenant d'Investissement Québec et de Fondaction CSN, à la hauteur de 10 millions chacun et de 200 000 $ de la Fédération québécoise des coopératives forestières. Il offre du financement sous forme de prêts ainsi que de l'accompagnement dans la réalisation de projets de chauffe à la biomasse forestière résiduelle. Les projets retenus viseront la conversion énergétique ou encore le conditionnement de la biomasse.

      « Cette initiative de développement durable est le fruit d'une formidable concertation dont nous pouvons être fiers. Elle s'inscrit dans le sens des engagements de Fondaction de plusieurs manières : contribuer à réduire les émissions de GES ainsi que la dépendance du Québec aux énergies fossiles, stimuler l'emploi à l'échelle locale et contribuer à la diversification économique de l'industrie forestière. Nous sommes enthousiastes face à la mise en place de ce projet stimulant et porteur d'avenir pour le Québec », a déclaré Léopold Beaulieu, président-directeur général de Fondaction CSN.

      À propos du Fonds Biomasse Énergie

      Créé à l'initiative de la Fédération québécoise des coopératives forestières et de Fondaction CSN, avec l'appui d'Investissement Québec, le Fonds Biomasse Énergie vise à soutenir des projets de production de chaleur à partir de biomasse forestière résiduelle, en vue d'appuyer un développement économique régional axé sur la satisfaction des besoins sociaux et la préservation de l'environnement.

      À propos de Fondaction CSN

      Fondaction investit auprès des PME québécoises afin de contribuer au maintien et à la création d'emplois au Québec, dans une perspective de développement durable. Il gère un actif de 1,2 milliard de dollars provenant de l'épargne-retraite recueillie auprès de plus de 126 000 actionnaires. Par ses investissements ou engagements, soit directement, soit par l'entremise de fonds partenaires ou spécialisés, Fondaction appuie le développement de plus de 850 PME dont un grand nombre font partie des différentes composantes de l'économie sociale.  www.fondaction.com
