Ethanol
Cenovus is a leading ethanol producer in western Canada and has been for 40 years through our predecessor company, Husky Energy.
Make Cenovus your partner in agriculture
We purchase grain from local producers at competitive prices and use it to make ethanol at our state-of-the art manufacturing plants located in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and Minnedosa, Manitoba. We also market ethanol byproducts, including corn oil and dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS), which is a high-protein feed supplement for livestock.
Fuel your livestock
Every year, we produce around 250,000 tonnes of our high-protein feed supplement for livestock, called dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS).
Biofuel best practices
We support the Biofuel Research Chair at the University of Manitoba, focused on developing high-yield, disease-resistant crops and making biofuel production more efficient.
Turn up the volume
Our two plants have a total production capacity of 300 million litres of ethanol a year, making us one of the largest producers in western Canada.
Fast, future-focused fuel
Ethanol is blended with gasoline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicle exhaust and boost engine performance.
