Ethanol
Project
Cypress
Agri Energy (CAE) is a corporation formed to pursue the
development of a 90-million
litre wheat to ethanol plant in the Shaunavon area of Southwest
Saskatchewan
Action
Southwest has formed a partnership with Cypress Agri Energy
to assist in ensuring that Southwest Saskatchewan producers
and region benefit from the development of an ethanol facility
in Shaunavon.
This
partnership will work on developing a communication strategy
that will create awareness within the region and beyond.
Local key stakeholders will be educated on the numerous opportunities
this will generate in the area and for the agriculture industry.
The goal is to source potential key stakeholders and build awareness.
The
first meeting of the new " Ethanol Action Team " was on June
15, 2006 where a general concept evolved to host an event that
would target potential stakeholders as well as the engagement
of a number of other marketing tactics that would frame the
economic benefits of this project for the industry, region and
province.
Status:
On August 16th, 2006 representatives from across the southwest
banding together to support the CAE project and begin efforts
to host Saskatchewan's first ever ethanol symposium.
On
October 12, 2006 the Ethanol Action Team hosted the Saskatchewan
Ethanol Symposium - A New Future for the Southwest Producer
in Shaunavon Saskatchewan. The event was attended by people
from across Canada and presented world class experts on the
ethanol industry. The event was a huge success for the
Southwest region and again, represented what can be achieved
by working together as a region.
