📢 Calling all CBA members! Join us on the evening before the Value of Biogas West Conference on Monday, October 7th from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm at the Westin Bayshore Hotel in Vancouver, BC for an exclusive CBA Member Only Happy Hour. This event is an excellent opportunity to meet your fellow CBA members in-person and engage with the Association over appetizers and drinks. Note this is a free event for CBA members only. #ValueofBiogas #Networking #Biogoas #RNG

Happy World Biofuels Day! As the voice of the industry in Canada, it is the CBA’s mission to increase integration and adoption of biogas & RNG. There are currently 300 biogas & RNG projects in Canada which are: ✔ Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ✔ Processing waste, ✔ Producing renewable energy, and ✔ Creating nutrient-rich fertilizer. However, biogas is far from reaching its full potential. According to our 2023 Market Report, Canada is currently only utilizing approximately 14% of its easily-available biogas energy potential. As we work towards a cleaner future, we look forward to the development of more biogas & RNG projects! #Biogs #RNG #CleanFuels

What exactly is R-N-G? Watch our latest video to find out… . . . . . . . . . Replacing traditional fossil fuels like diesel and gasoline, RNG isn’t a fossil fuel. It’s made entirely from organic waste sourced from landfills and dairy farms which account for nearly a quarter of methane emissions in the U.S. RNG reduces carbon both at the source and on the road, making it one of the only fuels that can achieve a negative carbon-intensity rating. That means it avoids more emissions than it generates. #RenewableNaturalGas #RNG #CowPower #CleanEnergyFuels 

Don't miss this opinion piece in Wisconsin's The Capital Times newspaper. ABC Board member Mark Stoermann talks about the importance of cutting methane emissions at dairy farms by deploying more biogas systems, and includes some fascinating facts. #cutmethane #dairydigesters #BenefitsofBiogas

There are 110 food waste-only biogas systems currently operating in the U.S. and a further 10 expected to come online in 2024. This sector of the overall biogas industry is growing, but still has limited impact on the 106 million tons of food waste that the EPA estimates is generated each year in the US.   The recently released National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics confirms the major role that anaerobic digestion can play in the disposal of inedible food waste, not to mention its other benefits in creating renewable energy, reducing GHGs and producing fertilizer.   Of the 66 million tons of POST-consumer food that goes to waste each year in the U.S., based on our biogas project database we estimate that just 5% is recycled by 45 post-consumer stand-alone food waste AD facilities. Our data shows that these projects each recycle an average of about 70,000 tons of food waste each year. New facilities in the pipeline, many serving large urban populations and having capacities to recycle 300,000 tons per year or more at each project, will make further inroads into the American food waste mountain. However, the pace we’re on now will not get us to recycling even half of the food waste we produce in most of our lifetimes.   What are some of the solutions? Stay tuned and follow this page for more on this issue tomorrow.   #BenefitsOfBiogas #RenewableEnergy   https://lnkd.in/eR6vWjTe
