Agri-Green Energy President, Kim Caron says, “carbon emission pricing in Canada has changed the energy economy, many agricultural wastes are now looked at as valuable energy resources�.

The domestic and world demand for biomass fiber has exploded as we move to carbon neutral energy sources. Biomass is considered a carbon neutral energy source under the Paris Protocol on Climate Change.

The Canadian supply of biomass fiber has not kept up with demand forcing energy producers to look for more unconventional sources of biomass. Flax and hemp straw is currently burned in the fields, however, changing market conditions is making this agricultural waste into an economic source of biomass fiber.

Agri-Green Canada has plans to construct a 30,000 ft2 biomass upgrading facility in the Regina area. The plant will produce up to 70,000 tonnes of biomass fiber annually which can be scaled up.

The Company is working with a large consumer of biomass (360,000 tonnes annually) to supplement their current 70,000 tonne annual shortfall.
