Steeper Energy Canada signs MOU with Calgary to produce fuel from sewage

In Canada, the City of Calgary and Steeper Energy Canada Ltd. signed an MoU regarding the future transformation of the city’s sewage sludge and other urban generated bio-organic wastes for the production of sustainable biofuels such as renewable diesel or jet fuel.

The MoU formalizes the intent of Calgary and Steeper Energy to see the development of a demonstration plant at the Pine Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in South-East Calgary. The city has agreed to host Steeper Energy at its state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant, as well as to supply a small portion of Calgary’s primary and secondary sewage sludge to produce advanced biofuels, such as renewable diesel or jet fuel, via Steeper’s proprietary Hydrofaction® technology.
