NORTH AMERICA'S NEWEST BIOFUEL TEST CENTRE OPENS

Released on September 21, 2006

The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) officially opened its Biofuels Test Centre in Regina today.

"With the help of the Saskatchewan Research Council, Saskatchewan is fast positioning itself to be the renewable fuels capital of Canada," Deputy Premier and Regional Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Clay Serby said on behalf of Minister responsible for SRC Eric Cline. "By providing quality local testing and competitive costs, we hope to foster both production and use of biofuels in Saskatchewan."

The biofuels industry, including ethanol and biodiesel, is expanding across Saskatchewan. The SRC test centre is a fully-qualified and accredited facility which will offer reasonably priced, fast and reliable tests to the biofuels industry on a fee-for-service basis. These tests will help producers validate the quality of their product as well as helping them to ensure that it meets the full range of Canadian and International industry standards.

"Over the past several years, Milligan Bio-tech Inc. (MBTI) has been developing a biodiesel production technology in co-operation with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the University of Saskatchewan," MBTI Executive Manager Zenneth Faye said. "Having SRC's Biofuels Test Centre located in the province will greatly improve turnaround times and our accessibility to their independent, third - party testing verification which MBTI requires to meet customers' needs."

SRC's Biofuels Test Centre reflects the provincial government's commitment to renewable fuels and desire to address climate change. "This facility, the newest biofuels test centre in North America, builds on SRC's more than 20 years of experience providing testing services for the petroleum industry," Serby said. "Biodiesel and ethanol producers across North America will benefit from SRC's unsurpassed analytical expertise and solid reputation."
