A tiny startup company preparing to open a biodiesel plant in Toronto this spring says it will produce clean fuel, animal feed and human food all from the modest flax seed.

Privately held Energy Innovation Corp. said its process creates multiple revenue streams, but no waste.

"The demand is actually 10 times more than we think we'll be able to supply over the next 16 to 18 months," said 27-year-old CEO Jon Dwyer.

A federal mandate will require two-per-cent renewable content in all diesel fuel in 2011. Dwyer'scompany plans to make up to 10 million litres of biodiesel annually at its Toronto plant.
