In Moose Creek, Ontario, Champion Mushroom Farm is now producing more than just mushrooms–it’s home to a 243 kW solar project! Bullfrog Power partner, SolarShare, has been the proud owner since September 2013.
A legacy project of the Alberta Winter Games 2014, Bullfrog Power and Canadian Rockies Public Schools installed solar PV panels on the roof of the Banff Community High school–which is also Canada’s first LEED-certified school. The 10 kW project is also included in the school’s science curriculum to help teach students about the benefits of renewable energy.
Through this project, landfill gas is captured, cleaned, and repurposed to dry the biosolids, and the resulting fertilizer is used by agricultural, commercial, and residential applications across the Sunshine State.
Bullfrog Power’s green fuel is a renewable alternative to petroleum-based transportation fuel. We source our green fuel from Biodiesel Las Americas LLC (“BDLA”), a biodiesel producer in Doral, Florida, that repurposes used cooking oil, a waste stream collected from restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food processing plants.
We source our green fuel from Innoltek, a biodiesel producer in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, that repurposes waste streams from the food industry.
