Wintergreen Pellets

The Wintergreen Pellets team are building a straw pellet production facility in the heart of Alberta’s prairie country. The planned facility will be capable of producing between 50,000 tonnes and 60,000 tonnes of straw pellets annually. The facility will be focusing on producing straw pellets but will have the capability to produce alternative biomass pellets if there is a demand for them. The primary use for the straw pellets will be as a fuel source for power and heat generation. Straw pellets are a renewable resource that will aid in the global push to phase out fossil fuels. The Wintergreen Pellets team will also be exploring additional uses for the straw pellets which include, but may not be limited to, animal bedding, chemical absorbent, cement plant kiln fuel and pond algae clean up. This will not only create a new industry in Alberta that will equal that to the wood pellets industry but also provide an additional revenue stream for farmers. Excess straw that otherwise went unused, will now have a dollar value for Albertan farmers.
