Energy in Ag Roundtable Proceedings
“I'll just close with a little story of a farmer who was asked to list his assets. And he said, 'Well, that's quite simple. It's the land, the water, and the grass. Everything else you see on my farm are just tools to manage my assets.'” - Kevin Hoppins, Chair of the Board, UFA Co-operative Ltd.
ENERGY + AGRICULTURE + COLLABORATION.
Alberta's agriculture and energy sectors are advancing decarbonization through renewable fuels, anaerobic digestion converting manure to renewable natural gas, and cross-sectoral innovation. Key barriers include investment gaps, data governance, and standardized sustainability metrics.
The Simpson Centre convened stakeholders—producers, researchers, and industry—to examine how agriculture-energy integration enables farm diversification, operational efficiency, and new revenue streams through renewable energy and biofuel production.
