The Bio-En Group

MARCH 2019 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA 9 who wish to see more organic waste diverted away from disposal, and put to better use. Most senior-level govern- ments across Canada are pursuing agendas of that type. At the same time, biogas plants make 100 per cent renew- able energy from those wastes, typically in the form of either electricity or natural gas.” R&D Bio-En’s technology is sourced world- wide to construct the best system for each client’s unique needs, while allow- ing for the flexibility to maintain absolute state-of-the-art offerings. “We’re very happy with the system we are running at our R&D plant today, but don’t expect it to be the same five years from now,” explains Taylor. “This is a rapidly evolving sector, and our approach will continue to allow us to select and blend in the very best new ideas from a range of tech- nology vendors from around the world. There are always new and better ideas.” For example, Bio-En has focused a great deal of time and energy on processing organic waste with more contaminants (think plastic wraps, bottle caps) better than anyone in the industry. “We are routinely processing organic feedstocks that come mixed with 25 per cent inor- ganic contaminants and more,” says Taylor. "And we use them to produce a super-clean fertilizer that is approved for use on Certified Organic farms in Canada. We believe that our ability to process organic wastes that are heav- ily-contaminated with those kinds of packaging and other inorganics, and to produce from that a super-clean prod- uct that is approved for use in Certified Organic farming, is unmatched in North America.” Bio-En is positioned to continue its lead- ing position in Canadian biogas. Its Elmira facility will operate under its ownership for years to come and, with a number of such projects in the pipeline, Bio-En looks forward to continuing to roll those out, both as a vendor and as an owner/ operator. As the biogas industry contin- ues to grow in Canada, watch for Bio-En to lead the way. www.bio-enpower.com
