16 | Current and Future Status of Biofuels
with Jim Thacker, Director with Kyoto Fuels Corporation
Kyoto Fuels Corp, formed in 2003 and located in Lethbridge, recently received a $31 million 6-year investment from the Government of Canada, allowing it to produce up to 66 million litres of biodiesel annually by converting vegetable or cooking oil or animal fat into biodiesel.
It intends to sell the product to diesel producers in Western Canada and the northwestern United States. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from biodiesel can be as much as 80 percent over regular diesel.
