The plant, formerly operated by Biox, has been producing biofuels on port lands in Hamilton for more than two decades, HOPA Ports said in a statement on its website last week.
HOPA is now in talks with potential partners to find a new operator.
“We applaud the Province of Ontario for its prompt action, and we are grateful to Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath for her steadfast advocacy with Premier Ford and the provincial government,” Ian Hamilton, President and CEO of HOPA Ports, said.
