In Canada, Lystek International (Lystek) announced the LysteMize Livestock Waste Characterization Study with support from the Department of Natural Resources Canada and Brown and Caldwell. Lystek has been awarded approximately C$585,000 from the federal government’s Energy Innovation Program, as part of the Clean Fuels and Industrial Fuel Switching call, to undertake the four-year project. The project will evaluate the suitability of various animal manures and organics from farms in southern Ontario as feedstocks for the LysteMize anaerobic digestion (AD) process to produce renewable energy. Lystek intends to produce a detailed characterization study of biogas yields from a range of animal waste feedstock sources and correspondingly introduce LysteMize low carbon intensity Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) as a clean fuel production pathway for the livestock waste sector.
