Why Vegreville Is Positioned to Lead Canada’s Next Biofuels Revolution
Vegreville is positioned to become Canada’s next wheat-straw biofuels hub thanks to its massive, low-risk supply of feedstock, an experienced agricultural base, and minimal competition for straw. The region produces some of the country’s highest wheat yields and can reliably deliver 455,000 bone-dry tonnes of wheat straw per year at competitive pricing, backed by growers who are willing to participate in new biomass markets. With strong transportation networks, an A-rated Biofuel Development Opportunity Zone, and a fully available industrial park adjacent to CN rail, Vegreville offers both the feedstock stability and the infrastructure readiness required for large-scale biofuel production.
