Renewable natural gas

Turning Green Bin waste into fuel for fleets

The facility processes 55,000 tonnes of organic waste generated from the city’s Green Bin program. By turning it into RNG, it can be added to the natural gas system and used to fuel the city’s waste collection fleet.

• Will turn 35 percent of the city’s organic waste into RNG.
• Eliminates more than 9,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
• Contributes to producing approximately 3.3 million m³ of RNG.

Curbing emissions from water treatment

Hamilton’s Woodward Avenue plant captures raw biogas to produce heat and power through a cogeneration unit. The surplus gas is then purified and used to create RNG.

• Processes up to 10,000 m³ of RNG per day.‡‡
• Offsets more than 1,100 tonnes of CO2 annually.***

Ontario’s first carbon-negative bus

Hamilton, Ontario residents can enjoy a cleaner commute on a bus powered by 100 percent RNG. As RNG captures harmful emissions, using it to fuel transit actually goes beyond achieving net zero carbon.

• A made-in-Ontario waste-to-energy solution.
• Uses RNG from StormFisher’s Biogas Facility in London, Ontario.
• Fuelling with RNG is an effective way to fight climate change.

Unlocking the value of organic waste

StormFisher converts organic waste to RNG, with capital support from Enbridge Gas to develop the RNG project. The process captures methane, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.

• Processes over 70,000 tonnes of organic waste.
• Eliminates over 8,000 tonnes of GHG emissions.
• Produces over 3 million m³ of RNG.

Municipalities

With oversight on landfills, wastewater, energy infrastructure and transit, municipalities are uniquely positioned to produce and use RNG to manage costs, meet sustainability goals and strengthen the local economy.

Produce RNG

• Make waste management more effective.
• Utilize existing landfill gas and organic waste.
• Distribute RNG using the existing natural gas system.
• Sell RNG as an additional revenue source.

Use RNG

• Convert transit fleets to be fuelled by compressed RNG. Learn about Municipal Transit Solutions.
• Fuel transit and waste fleet trucks with compressed RNG.
• Reduce emissions more affordably and quickly, compared to electrification.
• Heat homes and buildings with blended RNG.

Agribusinesses

Turn farm waste into a new revenue stream and reduce GHG emissions by becoming an RNG producer.

• Gain an effective waste management solution.
• Be part of a growing RNG sector.
• Recover soil nutrients by using the RNG byproduct as fertilizer.

Food and beverage processors

RNG can help manage waste and energy costs while reducing CO2 emissions.

• Use RNG to fuel buildings, processes or fleets.
• Leverage existing natural gas infrastructure.
• Achieve corporate sustainability goals.

Waste management companies

Landfill and waste collection companies can create a new revenue stream by repurposing organic waste to produce and use RNG.

• Instead of flaring, capture biogas to produce RNG.
• Reduce emissions by fuelling fleets with compressed RNG.
• Meet sustainability and environmental goals.
