Turn Wine Waste into Electricity

Now one can use wine-making waste into electricity if one follows the Canadian plan to capture methane gas from decomposing grape skins and seeds produced in its southern Ontario's Niagara grape-growing region.

Inniskillin Wines, owned by world's largest wine producer, Constellation Brand and private energy producer StormFisher Biogas have planned to use between 1,000 and 2,000 tonnes of grape pomace to produce power for Niagara-area homes. The waste material was previously shipped to a landfill sites.

StormFisher produces renewable energy by processing the food and beverage waste in industrial digesters, then using the methane to either generate electricity or be processed as natural gas.

The companies said on Wednesday that they may expand the project to other Inniskillin wine-making facilities on the Niagara Peninsula.
