Lynn Cattle has terminated its association with Rentec and is proceeding with its bio -energy park under the leadership of president of REO Energy Jose Laurentino to complete the second phase of development. During phase one, an anaerobic digester facility was initiated. Due to licensing issues, the matter is in the courts, but once resolved the digester will be completed. The primary function of a digester is to treat the feedlot manure and capture bio -methane. While methane can be converted to electricity, there is a unique opportunity to convert the bio -methane into bio -fuels for use in the agricultural and rural communities. "We now need to assess the best technologies to produce bio -fuels and ensure the appropriate inte- gration of the energy potential from a digester with these technologies at a scale that is cost effective," says Laurentino, also a project developer responsible for the bio -energy project for Lynn Cattle. "It is important for agricultural producers to derive as much revenue as possible from the production of bio -energy using new technologies that go beyond existing systems used to produce ethanol. Producers need to capture new revenue sources as part of the new farm economy," says Philip Lynn. "The energy centre promotes local rural develop- ment and provides new market outlets for agricultur- al by-products. We need to ensure that the Lynn Cattle system can be replicated on other farms," says Lambton- Kent -Middlesex MPP Maria VanBommel. "The project once completed will contribute towards clean water objectives, reduce greenhouse gases and provide new sources of green energy for the province," says Perth -Middlesex MPP John Wilkinson During the past three years, Lynn Cattle has made significant progress towards establishing a bio -ener- gy centre on the farm. With assistance from Natural Resources Canada, Agriculture, Agri -Food Canada through the Agricultural Adaptation Council and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the infrastructure for a digester has been created.
