British Columbia: CRD Replacing Gas-to-Electricity Plant at Hartland Landfill with New Facility
A new energy plant that converts landfill gas into renewable natural gas is coming to the Hartland Landfill in British Columbia, the Capital Regional District announced. The new RNG facility will be built by Waga Energy.
The RNG facility will take gas generated by organic waste in the landfill and convert it into renewable natural gas, which is a "carbon-neutral energy," according to the CRD. The upgraded biogas will then be sold to FortisBC to be mixed and used with its existing natural gas distribution system. The CRD says the new facility will reduce the region's greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 450,000 tonnes over the next 25 years.
