Rothsay’s efforts in biodiesel development began in 2001, when we launched a pilot plant co-located with our Montreal rendering facility producing biodiesel using recycled animal fats and used cooking oils. During this time, Rothsay’s biodiesel was used to support additional demonstration projects such as Montreal’s BioBus and BioMer projects.
In 2005, Rothsay Biodiesel was commissioned as Canada’s first commercial-scale biodiesel plant with a rated capacity of 35 million litres per year. By 2008, the facility was producing at full capacity and today the plant is running well above nameplate capacity at a rate of 45 million litres per year.
