BIOGEST America Inc has signed a letter of intent (LOI) for the joint development and financing of a renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Saint-Nazaire d’Acton area in Canada.
This milestone marks the country’s first BIOGEST RNG project.
Located in Quebec, the Saint-Nazaire d’Acton area project will produce 105,000 MMBTU (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 fertiliser that substitutes for chemical products.
The new project will introduce a novel concept by integrating biochar production. This dual-purpose 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,” remarked 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, said: “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.”
