PCE's CEO, Mark Cooper, shares the company’s excitement as it transitions from a startup to a revenue-generating venture. A testament to years of dedicated research and relationship-building, this move is poised to open new market avenues. Producers interested in partnering with PCE are directed to the company's website, ensuring an efficient process for both parties.
PCE has made deals with companies in Japan and the UK to sell their special fuel pellets. Their first big sale is planned for the US, especially in the midwest, where they'll sell them for horse bedding. Studies suggest these flax pellets are great for animal bedding because they're clean, absorb well, and are eco-friendly.
While PCE remains committed to its bio-energy ethos, Cooper acknowledges the added revenue potential and problem-solving capability the flax pellets offer in other sectors.
Recently, PCE received a $1.1 million boost from the Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator (MICA) Network. This money will help their projects that use prairie plants to lower pollution. They also received $180,000 from Innovation Saskatchewan to study more about making flax pellets.
