Project Overview
A partnership in renewable energy production.
Central Farms RNG is a collaboration between Kasko Cattle Co. Ltd., KCL Cattle Company Ltd., and Taurus RNG. Both Kasko & KCL have been family owned and operated businesses since 1996 and 1997 respectively. They believe in emphasizing integrity, technology, innovation, safety, and animal welfare.
130,000 tonnes of manure per year will be transformed into 360,000 GJ of Renewal Natural Gas (RNG) at a Taurus RNG facility constructed on-site at the Kasko Home Lot.

Questions
A few of the questions we are often asked.
Based on our many years of experience developing RNG projects, we understand the questions you may have and always ensure minimal impact to the surrounding communities.
Will there be an impact on odours?
Overall odours will be reduced. Manure will be continuously collected (on a biweekly basis) and fed to the biodigester for processing. The digester is a fully closed anaerobic system, designed to process the manure into biogas. The processed manure is turned into a nutrient rich homogenous soil-like material that is eventually land applied for farming. In the absence of the biodigester, the raw manure would be collected and stored at the feedlot or nearby fields for many months before being land applied in the spring or fall. The net impact therefore is a reduction in odours in the area surrounding the feedlot.
Will local traffic be impacted?
Local traffic will be reduced. The manure will be processed at the RNG facility located at the feedlot. A portion of the manure will be converted to natural gas that is injected into the gas grid. The remaining nutrient rich digestate will weigh 50% less than the incoming manure from which it was derived.
Will there be noise?
There will be no noticeable difference of noise in the area or above any background noise typically experienced at the feedlot. The process equipment will be contained within the facility or enclosed in soundproof containers ensuring quiet operations. The reduced traffic will also contribute to reduced noise in the area.
Will there be emissions?
The facility will divert and therefore help avoid emissions typically experienced from the manure. The facility and its unit processes will be subject to stringent emissions regulations as set out by the Alberta provincial authorities.
