Technology provider Topsoe A/S, Copenhagen, recently reported that it has been chosen to support Federated Co-operatives Ltd. (FCL), Saskatoon, in establishing renewable diesel production in Regina, Sask. FCL has chosen Topsoe’s HydroFlexTM process to produce low-carbon renewable diesel.
The FCL renewable diesel plant, once fully operational, has the potential to produce 15,000 barrels per day. The facility will be part of a larger Integrated Agriculture Complex, which also includes a canola crushing plant. FCL expects to be producing renewable diesel in 2027.
FCL’s current refinery in Regina produces traditional petroleum products. The company said combining renewable fuels with those products FCL already manufactures will create a sustainable seed-to-tank solution for fuel production in Western Canada.
