A project to generate power and heat from livestock waste and improve water remediation in Alberta’s Peace River country will get over $904,000 in provincial government funding.
The province announced Friday that Smoky Pork Development Ltd. will get funding through its Bio-refining Commercialization and Market Development program and its Bio-energy Infrastructure Development program, as one of 24 projects being funded for product development, market research or feasibility studies.
The Smoky Pork project involves developing and improving the company’s existing biogas facility. Biogas methane is a biofuel generated by livestock waste and other organic material.
