Renewable diesel, canola-crushing plant to be built in Regina

[Partners]

Good plan to build in sask.
But would not a better location in canola country?

Looks like it has something to do with the carbon offset schemes.

Federated Co-operatives CEO Scott Banda said his company has made a commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030 and to get to net-zero emissions by 2050.

"There's regulatory requirements for that, and it is the right thing to do for the long-term for our economy and for humanity," Banda said.

I've lost track. How many canola crush plants is regina getting? Is this a re-announcement or different plant altogether?

Someone at FCL got caught phucking a sheep and AGT has the pictures and videos.

Those guys are government tit suckers.

Remember the durum plant?

And the churchill rail line they were supposed to fix that is now offline for 2 years for repairs.

Well a durum plant and rail line to Churchill were both announced and even money wasted by Harper and Ritz. Would this be a great investment if was secretly done by the Saudi's.

Well Regina is now going to be the canola crushing capital of the world.

You will have a short haul.

This whole thing stinks. Renewable fuels are the steel bumper factory in Newfoundland. No market for steel bumpers anymore but government kept it going to keep jobs. Finished bumpers were melted and made again.

That’s why I think this is just an offset scheme.

Some times that's a curse you end up always driving past those places cause there's a better deal 100 miles away. But the more option's doesn't hurt.

It makes sense for Federated to put a crush plant beside their oil Refinery. Blending 'renewables' is easy that way. The US is going in this direction more and more...fast.

Just think every oil car will have canola oil in it didn't see that coming !!!

FCL didn't need to partner on this. And not with AGT.

From the government newser;

The FCL renewable diesel plant will have a production capacity of 15,000 barrels per day, or about 1 billion litres per year. The FCL-AGT canola crush facility will use 1.1 million tonnes of canola seed to produce 450,000 tonnes of oil, supplying approximately 50 per cent of the feedstock required for the renewable diesel plant, with the remainder of the supply being contracted from other canola crush facilities.


They still buy 50% of the veg oil elsewhere.
Basicly an additional 2 million tonne consumer.
Canada was crushing about 11M tonnes. With the new Sask plants an aditional 4M?
ADM Watson sends unit trains down the Soo Line to Velva where they have had biodiesel production since 2007.

Won't feel guilty now phoning Co-op fuel truck to fill fuel gusselling pre def Versy!
