From organic waste to renewable energy
RNG is a carbon-neutral fuel that can help fight climate change.
Created by capturing methane emissions from organic waste, landfills and wastewater treatment plants, RNG will play an important role in Ontario’s clean energy future. RNG can be used to fuel transit fleets, power industry and heat homes and businesses, and is an effective solution to help companies and communities reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

RNG benefits
Captures methane from being released into the atmosphere to become a clean energy source.
Blends into natural gas applications to fuel fleets and heat homes and businesses more sustainably.
Is reliable and resilient against extreme weather.
Generates revenue by producing RNG from landfills and farm waste.
How RNG is made and used
Success stories
Ontario’s first carbon-negative bus
City of Hamilton: Hamilton Street Railway
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: London Biogas Facility
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.
Turning Green Bin waste into fuel for fleets
City of Toronto: Dufferin Solid Waste Management Facility
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
City of Hamilton: Hamilton Water Treatment Plant
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.***
Current projects
Ontario’s largest RNG facility
In Niagara Falls, Enbridge Gas teamed up with Walker Industries and Comcor Environmental on a $42 million RNG project that will transform landfill waste into carbon-neutral energy. The facility will generate enough RNG to heat 8,750 homes every year.
