Ontario to Consult on Ways to Enable Farmers to Enter RNG Market
The Government of Ontario will launch consultations to identify potential changes that would allow farmers to expand the emerging renewable natural gas market in Ontario and make the province a North American leader in the biogas sector. The consultations will focus on changes designed to reduce red tape and grow untapped economic opportunities for on-farm biogas operations.
"Today we are launching consultations designed to unlock the economic potential of the biogas industry," said Ernie Hardeman, Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. "These consultations will focus on identifying potential changes that would enable the biogas sector to access new markets for renewable natural gas through red tape reduction. We want these consultations to pinpoint potential changes that could enable Ontario's $35 million dollar-a-year biogas sector to grow by up to 50 per cent over the next five years."
