Taurus Canada to Build Integrated Manure-to-Gas and CO2 Storage Plant Near Lethbridge

Government funding pushes the waste-to-energy project toward a summer groundbreaking.

Kasko Cattle Company CEO Ryan Kasko speaks during a press conference at the Coaldale company's office. It was announced the company will receive $10 million to convert manure to renewable natural gas and soil additives.
Cattle manure from four feedlots operated by two producers near Coaldale, Alta., will supply Taurus RNG's Central Farms facility.

Overview

  • Taurus Canada unveiled plans for a facility that converts cattle manure into pipeline-ready renewable natural gas while permanently storing captured biogenic CO2 underground.
  • The project secured $10 million from Alberta’s TIER program via Emissions Reduction Alberta and $3.4 million from the federal Low Carbon Economy Fund toward an estimated $85 million cost.
  • Manure from four feedlots operated by Kasko Cattle Company and KCL Cattle Company will supply the plant, which targets 130,000 tonnes of feedstock annually.
  • Company projections call for about 360,000 GJ of renewable natural gas per year—enough for roughly 4,000 to 4,500 homes—with CO2 injected into a well about 1.5 kilometres deep.
  • Construction is planned to start this summer with full operations expected by January 2028, and Taurus estimates emissions reductions comparable to removing about 3,800 cars from the road.
