RNG: A Growing Sustainable Energy Source in British Columbia
After the uncertain rise and precipitous fall of a number of Canada’s energy-from-waste (EfW) industries, it may have been easy to underestimate the commercial opportunities for renewable natural gas (RNG).
After all, the corporate community lost much of its interest in capital intensive and technologically uncertain EfW projects at some point following the 2008 crash. With a few notable exceptions, EfW became a local, and mostly municipal, waste management issue, usually undertaken on a small scale. This has been quietly, yet rapidly, changing with the growth of RNG and the related environmental pressures for more resource recovery.
