A consortium of leading energy and commodities market participants has collaborated to execute the first-ever Responsibly Sourced Gas (RSG) supply agreement to use the Xpansiv Digital Fuels Registry™ to validate and register the gas’s origin, energy content and methane intensity, all derived from independent data sources.
Macquarie Energy Canada, Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Group will supply Québec’s leading natural gas distributor Énergir with natural gas from Pacific Canbriam Energy, a certified producer under the Equitable Origin EO100TM Standard for Responsible Energy Development. The physical natural gas will be bundled with Digital Natural Gas (DNG™), a registered digital asset derived from real-time production data as defined by Xpansiv’s Digital Fuels Program. The registered DNG attributes are recorded in an immutable digital certificate, enabling the owner to retire and claim the digital asset to meet ESG goals.
Proposed Biogas Facility at Shoosmith Landfill Promises to Cut the Smell – and the Carbon Footprint
For decades Chester has had that funk – the wafting odor of garbage that leaks out of Shoosmith Bros.’ landfill, especially on humid, windy days, and permeates surrounding neighborhoods, businesses, schools and the government offices and courthouse along Iron Bridge Road.
But it could soon be a lot less funky. Last week, the Chesterfield County Planning Commission greenlighted a new biogas processing facility that would be located on 10 acres next to the landfill off state Route 10. Morrow Energy, a renewable natural gas treating equipment supplier from Midland, Texas, is seeking permission to build a facility that would capture the methane gas released by the landfill and turn it into renewable gas, which is then funneled to a nearby TransCanada pipeline.

Several South Dakota Farms Chosen as Future RNG Dairy Digester Project Sites
MBL Bioenergy has entered into definitive agreements to develop several clusters of dairy farm digester projects to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) from multiple farms in South Dakota.
The clusters of projects are expected to produce 650 million cubic feet of RNG annually when complete and on-line by the end of calendar year 2024. The RNG will be delivered to the local natural gas pipelines serving the regional distribution system. In totality, the projects will represent more than $100 million investment in RNG by MBL Bioenergy, with funding by UGIES on a per project basis.
