News - Coal

As part of the province’s commitment to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, 20 farms and agribusinesses across the province are receiving more than $444,000 in grants to switch from coal to biomass heating systems.

Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship reminds Manitobans that, earlier this year, the provincial government introduced North America’s first petroleum coke and coal heating ban.

Keystone Agricultural Producers welcomes the announcement from Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh that the ban on burning coal in Manitoba will not be enforced until 2017.
