Welcome to CR Fuels
CR Fuels is the developer/operator of an approximately $270 million bio-village located 8 Kms north of Strathmore, Alberta.
Fully committed to sustainable development, which includes social, economic, and environmental considerations, CR Fuels’ facility will initially include an integrated biodiesel and ethanol facility with a CO2 recovery system. The entire complex will be integrated into the existing Cattleland Feedyards complex, which includes feedlot operations and a research centre.
2008 will be an exciting year for CR Fuels. Now that we have received all of the key permits, we are moving towards construction, which is scheduled to begin in March 2009.
At full production, the CR Fuels complex will produce 113.6 million litres (30 million U.S. gallons) of biodiesel and 95 million litres (25 million U.S. gallons) of ethanol annually. The canola crusher included in the complex provides the option of producing food grade canola oil in addition to, or in place of, biodiesel.
CR Fuels has also identified Taber, Alberta as a second location for a similar bio-village; with a separate project planned for Nova Scotia.
