Enterprise Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is developing new products using renewable resources.

In Canada's heartland, it's not surprising to find a tradition of innovation in agriculture and new ways of thinking about bio-resources.

Saskatchewan offers extensive research and technological support, from plant biotechnology and fermentation capacity to analytical support and toll-processing, amidst the country's largest renewable bioproduct resources. Bio-based materials, green chemicals, renewable plastics, natural fibres and natural structural materials are early candidates for commercialization in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan is an emerging hotbed for advanced biofuels development. It also has some of the first and largest operating wheat-based ethanol plants and some of the most integrated biodiesel operations in the country, producing bio-lubricants, dust-control products, concentrated protein feeds and many other products.
