Supporting Quebec Farmers’ Sustainable Clean Technology Projects
Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeauannounced two new projects today totaling close to $900,000 under the Agricultural Clean Technology Program that will help Quebec farmers take action on climate change and capture new and emerging economic opportunities.
One of the investments will support Coop Agri-Énergie Warwick , the first agricultural cooperative dedicated to the production of renewable energy in Quebec , in the development of a cooperative agricultural biomethanizer plant. The plant will transform cow manure and organic residues from local industries into biomethane, a renewable natural gas. The federal government is providing Coop Agri-Énergie Warwick with up to $758,243 to carry out its novel initiative to further process the digestate produced by this eco-friendly plant, therefore enhancing its agricultural value to the benefit of its farmers' members.
