Two Birds, One Stone? Growing Sector Turns to Biogas Systems for Fuel, Waste Reduction
A seven-foot flare outside the Mount Pleasant Wastewater Treatment Plant serves as a constant reminder of wasted potential.
This flame is burning excess methane that's released from the plant as it processes sewage waste. But instead of burning the methane, the gas could be captured and harnessed as a form of renewable natural gas.
The Renewable Natural Gas Helping Energy Producers Meet Climate Obligations

Companies like New Brunswick’s Irving Oil have started replacing some of their natural gas usage with RNG, a renewable natural gas made from organic matter.
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.
