The 2025 Value of Biogas West Conference united 350 delegates and 35 exhibitors in Calgary from October 6–8 for three days of collaboration, insight, and innovation. Highlights included site tours at GrowTEC and Bonnybrook Wastewater Treatment Plant, dynamic sessions on Alberta’s biogas potential and RNG growth, and a keynote from Minister RJ Sigurdson reaffirming support for renewable energy.

Ahead of the upcoming Budget announcement on November 4th, the CBA has been actively engaging with government departments to reinforce our key priorities outlined in the pre-budget submission. These include strengthening the CFR by raising the 10% gaseous credit limit and introducing a credit multiplier for Canadian-produced RNG, and implementing an ITC to support the biogas industry. Following the Budget announcement, the CBA will host a Director Fly-In in November to advance strategic discussions and government engagement. As part of the CBA’s ongoing advocacy efforts, we encourage members to continue connecting with us to share any concerns or challenges you are facing in project development.

The energy transition took center stage on the second and final day of the Pre-COP, held on Tuesday, October 14, in Brasilia. During the event, Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched the Belém Commitment for Sustainable Fuels—known as Belém 4x—an initiative aimed at building high-level political support for the global goal of quadrupling the production and use of sustainable fuels by 2035.
Belém 4x seeks to promote the worldwide adoption of clean energy sources—such as hydrogen and its derivatives, biogases, biofuels, and synthetic fuels—capable of replacing fossil fuels and contributing to the decarbonization of energy systems and the fight against climate change.
