A diverse operation comprising 5,000 acres of irrigated land producing quality potatoes, green peas, seed canola, and a range of cereals. GrowTEC’s Biogas plant converts large volumes of manure and organic waste into three value added by-products: biogas (~60% methane), heat and nutrient-rich / pathogen free soil amendments. Presently the biogas produced by the facility is converted into 100%, 24/7 renewable electricity and sold into the Alberta Electricity grid through AESO. GrowTEC powers a 633KW/hr combined heat and power (CHP) unit that generates over 4000 MWhrs per year of electricity from organic waste each year.
