Husky is a pioneer in the production and marketing of ethanol-blended fuels, and has 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. During the process distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) is also produced – a high-grade protein feed sold to livestock producers. Feedstock for the plant comes primarily from wheat purchased from local 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 constructed a new facility on the site of its existing plant. The new plant has production capacity of 130 million litres per year of ethanol and was completed in late 2007. Husky also operates a second ethanol plant in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan with a production capacity of 130 million litres per year.
