Impacting the world. Securing the future
When it comes to environmental issues, we believe in continuous improvement. With increased innovation, creativity, and teamwork, and with the cooperation of all stakeholders, we believe we can revitalize our natural resources, reduce reliance on petroleum and generate high revenue for farmers.
A key issue that arises with any biologically-sourced chemical is the perceived conflict between growing crops for food vs. fuel/chemicals. Our process makes use of non-food grade feedstock that do not conflict with food growth.
Life Cycle Analysis of the production process shows that by using sustainably-grown, locally-sourced materials such as canola (rape seed) oil, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by more than 5 kg CO -e/kg of products. For a 25 tonne/day commercial plant, this would reduce carbon emissions by 42,000 tonnes annually.
