Canadian PM Steve Harper announces project details
A green infrastructure project in Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, funded on a cost-sharing basis by the Canadian Government, will see the construction of a system to treat organic waste and convert it to biogas, a renewable fuel. This project operates under an agreement-in-principle undertaken with the Government of Quebec relating to the $1 billion federal Green Infrastructure Fund of Canada’s Economic Action Plan. “Projects like the one announced in Rivière-du-Loup are part of our strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, in so doing, combat climate change,” said Prime Minister Steve Harper.
The Rivière-du-Loup project involves the construction of a system to treat organic waste, almost all of which to date has been sent to landfills. The technology converts organic waste to biogas for use as renewable vehicle fuel.
CNGVA member Xebec Adsorption is to supply its pressure swing adsorption technology for upgrading the biogas. Up to 1.4 million cubic meters of renewable biomethane will be produced for use in municipal fleet vehicles.
