The $70 million investment in this production facility will initially produce 36 million liters of bioethanol fuel per year, and will allow the Alberta region to reduce carbon dioxide by more than 6 million tons in the next 25 years, equivalent to 12,000 cars per year on the road. The displacement on the drive.
