Bio Village
The Facility
The initial Bio-diesel plant will be capable of initial production of 113.6 million/litres/yr (30 million/US/gal) using Canola seed as feedstock.
The Ethanol plant’s production of 95 million litres/Yr (25 million/US/gal) using wheat as feedstock.
A biomass power generation facility that would use manure from an adjacent livestock feedlot and the glycerin by-products from the bio-diesel plant to produce up to 4 MW of green power for use within the Biofuels complex.
The Site
The Strathmore site is strategically located in the center of the wheat and canola producing areas of Southern Alberta. Our unique location is adjacent to a large livestock feedlot that will allow for integration of the by-products within the individual plant facilities.
In addition, the site is conveniently located adjacent to the CN rail Mainline, and has excellent accessibility to highways, allowing for easy transportation of feedstock and the product and co-products that are can be easily transported by truck.
A particular advantage to the CR Fuels plant is its proximity to tank storage in Southeast Calgary. This tank storage serves as the southern distribution facilities for various companies, and serve the Calgary market and the rest of Alberta south to the U.S. border.
Feedstock
- Canola – for the production of Bio-Diesel
- Wheat – for the production of Ethanol
- Cattle Manure and glycerin – for the power generation facility
