Discover how biogas can work for your community

Municipalities can close the loop through diverting organics to anerobic digestion and capturing methane from landfills.

How are other communities capturing the energy?

Hamilton, Ontario

With a goal to transition the City of Hamilton’s wastewater treatment plant to a zero-net-energy user, the plant was upgraded to produce biogas, combined heat and power and renewable natural gas (RNG).

St. Hyacinthe, Québec

The City of Saint-Hyacinthe takes organic waste and turns it into RNG for its own use heating and cooling municipal buildings and fueling vehicles and for injection into their local pipeline.

Edmonton, Alberta

A new system to convert landfill gas into RNG will help the City of Edmonton reduce GHG emissions, while enhancing environmental sustainability and economic viability of landfill gas management.
