Comet has proven this by operating a large demonstration plant in Italy (at Enea in Basilicata), setting them apart from others.\u00a0 Comet has also put together a unique value chain in Southwestern Ontario, bringing together farmers, technology, off-takers and government.\u00a0 We are looking forward to participating in their exciting growth prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Powered by:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ilbioeconomista.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/media\/partner\/ilbioeconomista.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comet Biorefining, the Canadian bio-based company, has signed an off-take agreement with bio-succinic acid producer BioAmber for high-purity dextrose from Comet\u2019s planned commercial plant in Sarnia, Ontario.
