Steeper Energy collaborates with Invest Alberta to build biomass plant

Steeper Energy (Steeper) has announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Invest Alberta Corporation (Invest Alberta) to commercialise Steeper’s proprietary Hydrofaction® technology within Alberta, Canada, aligning with Alberta’s broader goal of becoming the country’s cleantech leader.

Steeper’s Hydrofaction® technology is a proprietary form of Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) which, over Steeper’s 12-year history, has been proven capable of converting a wide range of biowaste feedstocks to flexible renewable biocrude.

Hydrofaction® biocrude can be used directly or upgraded for use as a renewable marine, diesel, or aviation fuel.
This MOU formalises the intent of Invest Alberta and Steeper to realise the development of a first-of-its-kind Hydrofaction® commercial plant in Alberta.

A Tribute To Grandpa Ron

Video: A Tribute To Grandpa Ron

It's been a tough few weeks on the farm as we mourn the passing of Grandpa Ron. Grandpa was a legend, a mentor and a friend. He was still actively farming as he loved hauling grain and combining. I have many great memories of Grandpa on and off the farm and I will cherish those forever. He loved the farm and everything it has to offer. It's going to be different now, but Ronnie's legacy lives on through us and we want to make him proud.
