Husky is a pioneer in the production and marketing of ethanol-blended fuels, and plans to become Western Canada’s largest ethanol producer. The Company’s first ethanol plant was built in 1981 in Minnedosa, Manitoba and produces 10 million litres of ethanol for fuel and industrial use, primarily from wheat. During the process distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) is also produced – a high-grade protein feed sold to livestock producers.
Ethanol is a clean burning fuel that can improve engine performance and reduce tailpipe emissions. At Husky and Mohawk retail outlets ethanol-blended gasoline is marketed under the name Mother Nature’s Fuel.
New opportunities became available when the Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments announced plans to mandate the use of ethanol-blended gasoline in their provinces. Anticipating this decision, Husky completed construction of an ethanol plant at Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and is building another plant at its existing Minnedosa site.
The Lloydminster facility has a production capacity of 130 million litres of ethanol per year and create approximately 26 full-time permanent positions. Ethanol will be made from wheat purchased from local producers.
