On January 15, the CBA submitted comments to ECCC’s Clean Fuel Regulation Discussion Paper to help shape draft amendments that increase opportunities for Canadian biogas & RNG producers. Our feedback highlights the need to explicitly support domestic production and ensure gaseous credits are fairly valued in the market. The CBA supports measures such as a credit multiplier for Canadian biogas & RNG and the removal of the 10% limit on domestic gaseous credits, helping Canadian producers remain competitive. We thank our members for their input, which continues to guide our advocacy on their behalf.

The Québec Government is providing CAD $15 million in financial support to Waga Energy Canada for the construction of a renewable natural gas (RNG) production unit at the technical landfill site operated by the Régie des matières résiduelles du Lac-Saint-Jean (RMR) in Hébertville-Station, in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. This support represents a key milestone in the implementation of the project, which was signed in November 2024 and is now entering its construction phase.

CHAR Technologies Ltd. announced that commissioning has commenced at its Thorold Renewable Energy Facility, the Company’s first commercial renewable energy and biocarbon production facility. Feedstock receiving and handling systems are now entering startup, with commissioning of the commercial high-temperature pyrolysis (“HTP”) kiln expected to follow shortly. The Company is targeting a ramp toward the Phase 1 biocarbon production run-rate of 5,000 tonnes per year by the end of first quarter of 2026.
