FortisBC Energy has awarded a biogas upgrading contract to Greenlane Biogas North America for a new project at the Vancouver Landfill in British Columbia.
Under the $12.1 million (€8.4 million) contract, Greenlane will supply its two-stage pressure swing adsorption system to upgrade landfill gas to clean, low-carbon RNG for direct injection into FortisBC’s regional natural gas pipeline system.
U-M Researchers Lead $6.8 Million Study to Turn Food and Farm Waste Into Fuel
University of Michigan scientists are leading a $6.8 million research project to expand what organic materials – like food and agricultural waste – can be bio-digested into methane.
Anaerobic digestors have been used for decades to make energy, and this five-year research project will determine how cost-effective an enhanced method can be and whether the process results in a reduced carbon footprint.
Getting Renewable Energy From Landfills with Archaea Energy
Keystone Landfill sits on more than 700 acres. It stretches into two boroughs: Dunmore and Throop. For many years residents have questioned the landfill’s operation. Air quality is a top concern.
For nearly two years, Archaea Energy has been building a $130 million renewable natural gas processing facility on site, under a gas right agreement with Keystone. Archaea Energy will be doing the same thing at Waste Management Alliance Landfill.
Once it is all processed, Archaea teamed up with UGI with a pipeline interconnection allowing area customers to benefit while reducing emissions into the air by 90 percent according to the company.
Greenlane Renewables Signs Over $7 Million in New System Supply Contracts
Greenlane Renewables Inc. announced it has signed two new biogas upgrading system supply contracts valued in total at $7.1 million (Canadian dollars) for separate renewable natural gas projects. Order fulfillment by Greenlane for both projects will commence immediately.
The first awarded contract is for the supply of a biogas upgrading system for a dairy farm RNG project in the State of Nebraska. The second contract is for a landfill gas-to-RNG project in Brazil with one of the country's largest landfill operators, Orizon Valorizacao de Residuos. Greenlane will supply its water wash system to upgrade the landfill gas to low carbon RNG.
UGI Adds Renewable Natural Gas to its Supply Portfolio
In Fiscal 2021, UGI Utilities, Inc. signed an interconnect agreement with Archaea Energy to accept delivery of RNG produced from the Keystone Landfill in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, into its natural gas pipeline that serves its distribution system. Once fully operational, the recently completed interconnect is capable of accommodating up to 5.3 billion cubic feet of RNG supply each year, making this the largest current RNG supply point in the United States to date.
Cellulosic Ethanol Plant Retooled for RNG
Verbio North America says it will more than double the capacity of its plant in central Iowa to produce renewable natural gas from corn stover, and it plans to begin production of corn ethanol in the final months of the year. The facility was the first of three plants in the nation to return to biofuel production after faltering as a producer of cellulosic ethanol, made from grasses, woody plants, and crop residue.
Expanded London Biogas Company Now Canada’s Largest Food-Waste Diversion Plant
A London company that turns organic waste into fuel has expanded at its plant, making it the largest food-waste diversion plant in Canada.
StormFisher has built a third facility at its south London site, along Green Valley Road near the Hwy. 401, to make more fuel out of waste from across the region. The new facility, built in partnership with Generate, a sustainable infrastructure company, will increase the company’s food intake capacity by 30 per cent.
First WAGABOX(R) Landfill Gas to RNG Project in the US Confirmed
Waga Energy is joining forces with Steuben County, New York, on an RNG project at the county's Bath landfill. The RNG produced will be injected in the local grid and used as a biofuel to decarbonize mobility. The Steuben County landfill will be the first in the US to adopt Waga Energy's WAGABOX(R) technology, already in use at ten landfills with an additional eleven facilities forthcoming in Europe and North America.
