The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is leading a biodiesel pilot project to demonstrate how well the renewable fuel performs year-round in agriculture equipment. Supported under the National Renewable Diesel Demonstration Initiative (NRDDI), the project will help SRC assess biodiesel’s quality retention and performance in farming equipment and bulk storage facilities in all seasons, including the coldest winter months.

“The Government of Canada is pleased to partner with the Saskatchewan Research Council to promote the use of renewable diesel,” said Tom Lukiwski, Member of Parliament for Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre, on behalf of Lisa Raitt, Minister of Natural Resources. “Our investment of $782,000 for this demonstration project will contribute to reducing Canada’s total greenhouse gas emissions while investing in made-in-Canada technology and stimulating the economy.”
