Husky Energy Ethanol Facility Commences Production
Posted on: Thursday, 6 December 2007, 15:00 CST
Integrated energy firm Husky Energy's ethanol facility at Minnedosa in Manitoba, Canada, has commenced production with an annual capacity of 130 million liters of ethanol and 130,000 tonnes of high protein feed supplement.
At full production, the company expects to purchase 350,000 tonnes of grain annually from local producers. The new plant replaces an existing plant which produced 10 million liters of ethanol per year.
John Lau, chairman and CEO, said: "This new Minnedosa plant expands our ethanol production to meet consumer demand and is one of Husky's strategies to provide quality fuel. By constructing this plant, Husky Energy together with the governments of Manitoba and Canada, will deliver economic benefits within the province while focusing on cleaner burning fuels."
In constructing the facility, the company implemented a steam generation plant as well as investments in road upgrades and additional water treatment facilities. The company's investment in the plant is estimated to be C$200 million.
Under the government of Canada's ethanol expansion program, Husky has been qualified for funding of C$10.4 million.
