Peat Resources Limited is a Toronto-based clean energy company, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, which was formed to develop and produce peat fuel.

The Company has identified large biomass resources of fuel-grade peat on its properties in Ontario and Newfoundland. The northwestern Ontario property contains over 200 million tonnes, sufficient to supply OPG’s (Ontario Power Generation) northern generating stations for more than 20 years. In Newfoundland, permits cover about 130,000 hectares of productive peatlands.

Peat is biomass. It is used in electricity generating stations and other facilities requiring a long-term assured supply of environmentally favourable, economically competitive and consistent quality fuel.
