Wage Energy, RGMRM & Energir Join Forces on Quebec RNG
Waga Energy, the Mauricie Residual Materials Management Board (RGMRM) and Énergir are joining forces to launch a renewable natural gas (RNG) injection project at the Saint-Étienne-des-Grés landfill site, the first project of its kind on Canadian soil. The WAGABOX® technology that will be used for this project allows landfill site operators to recover the gas emanating from these sites in the form RNG, also known as biomethane.
As part of this project, Waga Energy is committing to purchasing the gas produced by waste products from the RGMRM for a twenty-year period. To recover it, Waga Energy will build a treatment unit on the site, using its WAGABOX® patented technology. Waga Energy will fund the unit’s construction and operation, as well as the costs of connecting the site to the local gas network. Énergir will purchase RNG production from Waga Energy, thus contributing to achieving the Quebec government’s objective of introducing a 10% share of renewable gas into the network by 2030.
