LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. The Alberta government is supporting Canary Biofuels, an Alberta-based biofuel producer, with a $4.7M grant through the province s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reductions (TIER) fund. In total, the facility in Lethbridge County will cost $28.6M and will be capable of producing roughly 70 million litres of renewable fuel each year while cutting more than 220,000 tonnes of emissions. That reduction in emissions is equivalent to the electricity needed to power 41,000 homes. Environment and Parks Minister Jason Nixon said the decision to fund a portion of the facility was not only to help the economy, but also the environment. This facility will be the first of its kind in Canada, with its flagship facility right here in Alberta,
