MELFORT, Sask. — Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) has rebranded its ethanol-production facility in Belle Plaine, Sask.
The Co-op Ethanol Complex (CEC), formerly known as Terra Grain Fuels, will continue to source feedstock from western Canadian farmers and manufacture ethanol.
The ethanol is added as renewable content to gasoline produced at CEC for distribution across the Co-op’s retail system.
The CEC facility produces up to 150 million litres of ethanol every year from 350,000 tonnes of wheat, corn, rye and triticale sourced from roughly 400 farmers.
