Canadian award-winning winemaker Inniskillin has teamed up with alternative energy firm StormFisher Biogas to use grapes leftover from wine production to make electricity.  The grapeskins and seeds, previously shipped to landfills, will now be used to produce methane gas that will be used as fuel. It is anticipated that up to 2,000 tonnes of wine by-products will be recycled in this fashion.

The companies will use Inniskillin's grape pomace, a mixture of grape skin and seeds that previously was shipped to a landfill, to produce methane gas that will be used as fuel. The companies said Wednesday they believe that the project to reuse about 1,000 to 2,000 tonnes of grape byproducts demonstrates sustainable business practices. “This partnership is a win for residential power consumers, a win for Inniskillin, a win for StormFisher and a win for the environment,” Bruce Nicholson, senior winemaker at Inniskillin, said in a release.
