The Canadian Biogas Association and its Directors had a busy couple of days in Ottawa on the Hill November 18–19 meeting with federal government departments and ministry officials at ECCC, NRCan, AAFC, and Transport, including a productive discussion with MP Fred Davies. The CBA team continued the conversation on the importance of biogas and how amendments to the Clean Fuel Regulations can further support the industry. This was a fantastic opportunity to have in-person discussions and strengthen the case for policies to advance the biogas & RNG industry in Canada. We look forward to continuing these important conversations in the future.

The IEA published it’s latest edition of the International Energy Agency (IEA) flagship publication, the World Energy Outlook (WEO), at a time when energy is increasingly at the centre of political and geopolitical tensions. There is no single storyline about the future of energy, which is why the World Energy Outlook presents multiple scenarios, none of which is a forecast. The framework presented in this Outlook is based on the latest and most comprehensive data on policies, technologies and markets, together with rigorous modelling. This allows readers to explore the implications of different choices and pathways. Biogas is noted as the fastest growing form of bioenergy globally. A rising proportion of biogas is upgraded to biomethane which is driven by supportive policies in several countries that reflect the attractiveness of biomethane as a drop-in substitute for natural gas and its energy security benefits.
