Prairie Clean Energy (PCE) is a solution provider changing the bioeconomy landscape in North America and the world by doing what no one else is doing – harnessing the millions of tonnes of excess agricultural waste on the Canadian and American prairies. PCE’s core business is a rigorous focus on efficiently gathering and processing fibre-rich and energy-dense straw and other sources of organic waste for diverse uses. Our feedstock is technologically and product agnostic and can be a low-carbon input solution for:

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
In early 2024, our team developed a patent-pending decortication process. Our highly efficient process removes the fibre from the shive using one of the most efficient processes on the planet. Once harvested from the straw, our flax fibre can be shipped as bales worldwide for use in pulp, specialty paper, and biomaterial industries. Contact us today to learn more.
Flax Straw Pellets
1.1 million tonnes of flax straw is burned on the Canadian and US prairies every year. This straw has no other market and the farmers have very little choice other than to burn it as the straw cannot be tilled back into the soil. With our patent-pending process, PCE turns the unproductive burning of flax straw into low-carbon solutions for bioenergy, biofuel, and other high value industries in the mining, fuel, agriculture, and retail areas.
Ag Pellets
There are more than 60 million tonnes of un-utilized agricultural residue every year on the North American prairies. All of this residue can be aggregated and processed. Our vision is to be the leader in this space and take un-utilized agricultural waste and densify it for low-carbon, high-value, processes and products.
The use of flax straw pellets for domestic bioheat generation would result in deep decarbonization of industries that use large amounts of fossil fuels for heat generation.
The use of flax straw pellets for domestic power generation would result in deep decarbonization. The example used here is based on Saskatchewan, however the PCE solution is applicable elsewhere.
