The Régie des matières résiduelles du Lac-Saint-Jean (RWM) and Waga Energy have announced the signing of an agreement to implement an RNG production project at the Hébertville-Station engineered landfill site (ELS) in Quebec. Waga Energy will collaborate with the RWM, which manages the ELS serving 50 municipalities and the Mashteuiatsh community. This partnership includes the construction and operation of a WAGABOX® unit, capable of producing up to 188, 000 MMBtu/year of RNG —enough to power more than 2,280 homes, according to Wage Energy. By capturing and upgrading biogas, the project will prevent the emission of 10,000 tons of CO₂ eq annually, contributing to the energy transition, it added. The Hébertville-Station ELS receives up to 203,500 tons of waste per year. Currently, its biogas is captured and flared.

Veolia announced that it has been awarded a contract to assume operations and maintenance of the City of Toronto’s Dufferin organics processing facility. Since 2014, Veolia has also operated and maintained Toronto’s other anaerobic digestion facility at Disco Road, and now will have responsibility for operating and maintaining Dufferin as well. These facilities use pre-processing and anaerobic digestion technology to break down organic material such as residential source-separated food waste. The waste is used to produce digester solids which are used to create high quality compost and biogas. The city then turns the compost and biogas into renewable natural gas to help fuel its fleet and heat its buildings, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 22,000 tonnes per year.
