Government invests in biomass boiler plant for cattle producers

The plant will handle carcass disposal and related by-products, and has the capacity to take animal waste and
turn it into energy.

Martin Courture, president of Sanimax, says that the
plant will reduce C02 emissions by 22,000 metric tonnes per year.

The plant was created with a repayable investment of $7.6 million from the federal government.
The project was funded part of the 2011 Economic Action under the Slaughter Waste Innovation Program.
