Enbridge Gas, Bluewater Recycling Association and Ontario Waste Management Association Unveil RNG-Fueled Refuse Truck
Bluewater Recycling Association (BRA), Ontario Waste Management Association and Enbridge Gas Inc. announced the first-in-Ontario, carbon-negative refuse truck, fuelled by renewable natural gas produced by a local Ontario farm from largely cow manure.
The BRA's RNG truck will displace CO2 emissions from 18,000 litres of diesel in the first six months. RNG trucks are half the cost of electric trucks and are priced similar to diesel trucks. Diesel trucks can be replaced one-for-one with RNG trucks without compromising performance. Like diesel, RNG operates during freezing weather conditions and refuelling takes minutes.
