Canadian Biogas Association

October is circular economy month here in Canada and we proudly support the almost 300 facilities that are producing biogas & RNG. As long as there is organic waste produced from industry and households, there will be feedstocks for biogas. As part of the circular economy, anaerobic digestion can divert thousands of tonnes of organics from landfills to create energy and recover resources to produce organic fertilizer!

Biogas has many benefits and is a key component of a lower carbon future, but there are many hurdles that still need to be overcome. George Dick from Dicklands Biogas was invited to speak on The Ag Podcast to share his experience with biogas & RNG. He discussed: ✔ how anaerobic digesters work, ✔the opportunity to reduce food waste and emissions through digesters, and ✔what needs to happen to smooth the path for more biogas & RNG production.    Listen to the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/g7y2sKzS   #Biogas #RNG #RenewableEnergy

Funding Opportunity - There is a new opportunity for New Brunswick agricultural producers to study the feasibility of anaerobic digester projects!   The Government of New Brunswick / Gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick's Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries will be responsible for the management of the program and ResearchNB is offering a concierge service to help improve the success of funding applications.    Check out the website to learn more - https://lnkd.in/gkh4XWSq   #AnaerobicDigestion #Biogas #RNG

Expand your knowledge of Carbon Markets! In just a few weeks, the CBA will be hosting “Carbon Markets in Practice: Biogas & RNG Essentials,” a three-part webinar series which will focus on opportunities for biogas & RNG producers to participate in carbon markets.  The first webinar will feature expert speakers: Andy Brosnan, nikan nadimi, and Brad Pleima. They will provide foundational knowledge of carbon markets including:  ✔ the different types of carbon markets ✔ how offset credits are created and traded ✔ the benefits and opportunities for biogas & RNG projects.    Join us on November 13 to learn the basics of carbon markets and ask your questions! There is still time to register, and CBA members will receive a discount on their registration fees!

We are excited to announce that CBA’s Jennifer Green has been invited to speak at the upcoming Canada Clean Fuels and Carbon Markets Summit on November 7th! As part of the “Canada’s Low-Carbon Fuel Landscape through the lens of CFR & BC LCFS” panel Jennifer will discuss the benefits of biogas & RNG as well as: biofuel sourcing, RNG dynamics, feedstocks, and the carbon intensity of low-carbon fuels. This event will be full of actionable insights to help attendees better understand Canada’s carbon and clean fuel markets along with opportunities to connect with leaders in the clean fuels industry. CBA members will receive a discount on registration fees - contact us for more details! Don’t miss this opportunity to shape the future of clean energy in Canada!

Canada continues to seek sustainable solutions to combat climate change and renewable energy sources are top of mind. One of these energy sources is renewable natural gas (RNG). It’s gaining significant attention for its potential. RNG is an upgraded form of biogas! It’s interchangeable with conventional natural gas and can use existing infrastructure like the natural gas grid, appliances and equipment. It’s produced from the waste we generate every day, including agricultural waste, food waste, sewage sludge and landfill waste. The exciting news is RNG isn’t just a concept, it’s a proven technology already making a difference in our communities. As of today, Canada boasts: ✔ 33 facilities actively producing RNG, ✔ Over 40 additional facilities in development, and ✔ Nearly 300 operational biogas projects that also contribute to electricity generation and onsite energy use. Canada not only has the technology but also the infrastructure and workforce in place to significantly scale up RNG production. The ongoing success of these projects emphasizes the potential for RNG to play a critical role in Canada’s clean energy landscape. Stay tuned as we share more about RNG and uncover the many ways it’s already contributing to a more sustainable, resilient future for Canadians.

This year's Value of Biogas West conference was a great success! Thank you to all of our exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, and attendees for helping us to continue to raise awareness of the benefits of biogas & RNG. Check out the video for highlights from the event. 

CBA's Jennifer Green is attending the Net Zero Edge, an annual event hosted by the Canadian Climate Institute / Institut climatique du Canada and Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB) - Groupe consultatif pour la carboneutralité (GCPC). Minister Steven Guilbeault discussed the government's climate plan and it was great to hear him recognize low carbon fuels and the balance they can bring to both the environment and the economy. #Biogas #RNG #Sustainability #NetZero

That’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone that attended, presented, exhibited, and sponsored Value of Biogas West 2024 – we hope to see you next year!

Value of Biogas West day one ✔ What a great day here in Vancouver. From project showcases and regulatory changes to feedstock discussions and international learnings today has been jam-packed with biogas & RNG education. We can’t wait to hear what our presenters have in store for tomorrow! #ValueOfBiogas #Biogas #RNG
