Canada’s planned 46 Mgy BioStreet biodiesel plant in Alberta selects technology partners
In Canada, BioStreet Canada has selected its technology partners as momentum begins to build for the 46 Mgy canola biodiesel plant planned for Vegreville, Alberta. The company has recently been awarded $300,000 in federal support through the Biodiesel Oppportunities for Producers Initiative (BOPI).
The federal ecoAgriculture Biofuels Capital (ecoABC) initiative is providing more than $600,000 to Western Biodiesel, a competitor to BioStreet. Local farmers will provide another $275,000 in direct investment toward the $8 million project cost for the 19 Mgy canola and tallow-based Western Biodiesel plant at Aldersyde, Alberta.
Climate Change Central, an Alberta not-for-profit organization, is currently test 60 trucks in a $2.6 million cold weather biodiesel research project. The Canadian and Alberta governments, Shell Canada, the Canola Council of Canada, the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute, Canadian Bioenergy, Neste Oil and Milligan BioTech are the project sponsors.
