Government of Alberta puts $10 Million into Lacombe Biorefinery
“The Lacombe Biorefinery is a leading-edge example of Alberta innovation in action. The province is fast becoming a hub for projects that process waste while creating more value for key industries like livestock and farming, and substantially reduce emissions,” Alberta Minister of Environment and Parks Jason Nixon said in a statement.
The Lacombe Biorefinery will be the first facility in the world to showcase the full application of a technology called BioRefinex thermal hydrolysis, which uses high heat, high pressure and water to turn animal and plant waste from agriculture and food processing into organic fertilizer and renewable natural gas.
