The federal government, under the Agricultural Clean Technology Program, is spending about $1.4 million to support SixRing Inc.’s next phase of development to scale up production.
The company is a subsidiary of Calgary-based Fluid Energy Group Ltd.
The funds will be used to scale up the company’s low-energy biomass conversion process that converts agricultural waste into renewable fuels and advanced materials. It will also assist in accelerating crop-based feedstock research.
The low carbon-intensity solution to manage agricultural waste is designed to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create further farm revenues.
