The gasification plant in Atikokan will look much like this one in Little Falls, Minnesota. The gasifier is the structure shaped like a rocket. The other two cylindrical structures are a storage facility for the biomass feedstock, and a silo where waste material is collected. Plant construction proceeds despite mill closure

The ground has been broken on Atikokan's 10 megawatt clean electricity cogeneration plant despite the fact that its main source of fuel is in receivership.
The $50 million plant, which will create 40 well-paying jobs once it's in operation, is being financed and built by Delta Energy Co. Ltd. of Thunder Bay.
