I will speak about my sector. The issue of heating buildings is perhaps less important in our case than it is for livestock buildings. The buildings used for grain production are hangars. Of course, the conversion is probably easier. Heating the buildings is certainly not the biggest burden for grain farms.
The challenge with buildings, in the case of grain production and drying, is that you have a high energy requirement in a short period of time. We are talking about electricity, for example. One day, it may be possible to dry grain with electricity, but we are still far from this technology. Even then, the electrical system will have to provide access to the necessary electricity. In many parts of Quebec, we don't even have access to three-phase electricity. We are talking about a very large electrical load or energy load that only propane and natural gas can currently provide.
So, technologically, we're not yet able to dry grain in any way other than using the fuels.
