An Alberta-based indigenous group and local first nation plan to build a C$600 million ($451 million) sustainable aviation fuel refinery to supply Calgary International Airport in an effort by indigenous communities to capitalize on Canada’s push to reduce emissions.
Reconciliation Energy Transition Inc. and the Siksika Nation’s planned refinery would produce 6,500 barrels a day of fuel from canola grown on a million acres of land, much of it indigenous-owned, Steve Mason, senior managing director of Reconciliation, said by phone.
