BIOGEST America signs LOI for first RNG project in Quebec

This milestone marks Canada’s first BIOGEST RNG project and is a pivotal moment in the commitment to advancing green gas initiatives in Quebec.

The Saint-Nazaire d’Acton area project will produce 105 000 million Btu (350 Nm³/h) of RNG and demonstrate the benefits of the PowerRing technology, underscoring its suitability and effectiveness for the Canadian market. During fermentation, the waste is transformed into high-quality organic fertilizer that substitutes for chemical products. The new project will introduce a novel concept by integrating biochar production. This dualpurpose approach improves RNG production and contributes to sustainable organic waste management.

“This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission of greening the gas through innovative energy solutions,” said BIOGEST’s Head of Sales, Daniel Bauer. “The Saint-Nazaire d’Acton area RNG project exemplifies our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to address pressing environmental challenges while simultaneously driving economic growth and fostering community resilience.”

Jean Collard, Les Équipements Agricoles Sarrazin Ltee, Président, continued: “The LOI represents a shared commitment among our stakeholders to advance this transformative project from conception to realisation. With financing secured for feasibility studies and construction, we are well-positioned to commence the next development phase and bring this visionary project to fruition.”

RNG is the only renewable energy source that can be carbon-negative, as it significantly reduces methane emissions from agricultural operations. BIOGEST’s plants produce not only pipeline-quality green gas but also an organic fertilizer that helps reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture.
