Canadian-Owned Irving Oil Selects Anaergia Inc. as a Supplier of Carbon-Negative Renewable Natural Gas for its Operations, Including the Saint John Refinery
Irving Oil and Anaergia Inc. have announced a partnership that will supply Canada’s largest refinery with carbon-negative RNG, as well as Irving Oil’s other operations such as Delivered Natural Gas.
The RNG, which is made from organic matter instead of fossil fuels, will be produced at Anaergia’s Rhode Island Bioenergy Facility, where food waste and other organic wastes that would otherwise have been landfilled, are transformed into renewable fuel. About 350 million cubic feet of RNG will be supplied annually from Anaergia Inc. into the regional pipeline where it will reduce the need for conventional natural gas supply to Irving Oil’s operations, including the Saint John refinery in New Brunswick.
