Steel Reef Converts Flare Gas to Power for Saskatchewan's Grid

The Calgary-based company will provide 100 megawatts of electricity annually by 2027 using waste gas from oil wells.

Steel Reef Infrastructure Corp. has signed agreements with SaskPower to supply electricity generated from flare gas.
The initiative aims to produce enough electricity to power 100,000 homes each year by late 2027.
The company plans to invest $265 million in new turbines and substations at five gas plants in Saskatchewan.
This move addresses environmental concerns, as flaring releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
The World Bank and Canadian regulations emphasize the need to reduce flaring due to its wasteful and polluting nature.
