Once commissioned, the Lacombe Biorefinery will be producing biogas to provide enough fuel for a 1.4MW power generation unit.  This renewable energy source, comprising mostly methane (natural gas), will be produced using large anaerobic digester vessels.  The biogas is produced by micro-organisms breaking down organic matter in an oxygen-free environment.  Biogas can be produced from materials such as agricultural waste, plant material, manure, food waste or other organic matter.  Once most of the organic material is used up by micro-organisms for biogas production, the remaining liquid - called digestate - can be used as a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
