Proposed FCL fully-owned renewable diesel facility

Overview

• Construction of a greenfield facility, fully-owned by FCL, designed to manufacture up to 15,000 barrels-per-day of renewable diesel.
• Proposed on-site pre-treatment unit to treat and process canola oil and alternate feedstocks used in the manufacturing of renewable diesel.
• A joint venture canola crush facility - in partnership with AGT Foods will supply ~ 50 per cent of the feedstock required to produce the projected 15,000 barrels-per-day.
• The FCL fully-owned renewable diesel facility will offer opportunities to capture CO2 emissions from hydrogen production and process heater vent stacks.
• To be constructed adjacent to the Co-op Refinery Complex (CRC) in Regina, SK.

Fast facts during the construction phase

• Gross economic output of ~ $4.6 billion.
• Contribute ~ $2.1 billion to the Regina region’s GDP.
• Expected to create ~ 3,332 new labour jobs and generate ~ $1 billion in labour income.

Additional facts

• ~ 50 per cent of the feedstock oil required will be supplied by the joint venture canola crush facility – in partnership with AGT Foods
• A significant investment in plant-based fuel production that cares for the environment and meets the needs of Co-op members, customers and Western Canadians.
• The integration of agriculture with plant-based fuel production will create opportunities for local producers, farmers and Co-ops. From seed to tank, we will be able to offer benefits at all levels of the agriculture value chain.
• Part of FCL’s strategy to generate cleaner fuels, while complying with the Federal Government’s recently implemented Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR).

Proposed Canola Crush Facility (CCF)

Overview

• FCL has formed a joint venture partnership with AGT Foods to design and construct a proposed canola crush facility.
• The partnership is a 51- 49 per cent split, with FCL owning the majority stake.
• Annually, the proposed facility is expected to process ~ 1.1 million tonnes of canola.
• To be constructed north of the Co-op Refinery Complex (CRC) in Regina, SK.

Fast facts during the construction phase

• Gross economic output of ~ $615 million.
• Contribute ~ $278 million to the Regina region’s GDP.
• Expected to create ~ 530 new craft labour jobs and generate ~ $136 million in labour income.

Additional facts

• Supply ~ 50 per cent of the feedstock oil required for the projected 15,000-barrel-per-day renewable diesel facility.
• The integration of agriculture with plant-based fuel production will create opportunities for local farmers, producers and Co-ops. From seed to tank, FCL and AGT Foods will be able to offer benefits at all levels of the agriculture value chain.
