Developer: Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd. (Update: Waste Connections of Canada)
The development and construction of the facility cost approximately $44 million (CAD) and created about 100 development and construction jobs and five operational jobs.
10,000 cubic feet per minute landfill gas
Production Capacity: 10,000 ft3/min x 1440 min/day x 365 days/year = 5,256,000,000 ft3/year / 31.315 ft3/m3 = 148,833,100.8 m3/year. 148,833,100.8 m3/year x 0.0373 GJ/m3 = 5,551,475 GJ x 53% (since it is landfill gas which is avg. ~50% methane, natural gas ~95% methane, 50/95=~53%) = ~ 2,940,000 GJ/year

EBI Énergie – Rive Nord
Berthierville, QC
Online
600,000 tonnes of waste are generated annually by the population of East Montreal and the municipalities including from Repentigny to Joliette. These residues are found at the Dépôt Rive-Nord de Saint-Thomas landfill site in the Lanaudière region, where they are converted into fuel and electricity. This represents 7,000 cubic meters of biogas collected per hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Since 2003, this methane has been used to produce natural gas.
Business agreements allow EBI Énergie to send it to industrial customers, such as Kruger, Pratt & Whitney and Kronos, through the gas pipeline used by Énergir. EBI Énergie also produces compressed natural gas (CNG) to run the 250 trucks in the fleet of trucks that collect oil.
A cogeneration plant with a capacity of 10 megawatts (MW), commissioned in 2012, allows it to produce electricity, continuously, seven days a week. The recovered heat is used to heat the building that hosts employees and to clean the leachate, the residual liquid generated by the decomposition of waste.
Production Capacity: 7000 m3 /hour x 24 hour/day x 365 days/year = 61,320,000 m3/year x 0.0373 GJ/m3 = 2,287,236 GJ/year x 53% (since it is landfill gas which is avg. ~50% methane, natural gas ~95% methane, 50/95=~53%) = approx. 1,210,000GJ/year

Saint-Hyacinthe
Saint-Hyacinthe, QC
Online
The completion of the Saint-Hyacinthe project marks the beginning of a collaboration between the City of Saint-Hyacinthe and Énergir, who has committed to acquire the city’s biomethane production. Biomethane production would reach 6,000,000 m3/year in the early years and could eventually reach up to 13,000,000 m3/year. The project entailed installing two hydrolysers, two digesters, two centrifuges, and a station for receiving table residues and green residues.
The new facilities in Saint-Hyacinthe will be used to process organic materials generated by agri-food companies in the region (mainly slaughterhouse fat residues and whey from the many dairy industries established nearby), as well as table residues and green residues from 25 municipalities in the region, a population of more than 100,000.
More than 200,000 tonnes of organic materials are processed annually in Saint-Hyacinthe. Thanks to these facilities, the city of Saint-Hyacinthe offers its residents and local businesses a competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to managing their residues, while maintaining quality jobs in the region.
- The Government of Canada has invested nearly $11.4 million in the construction of the Saint-Hyacinthe biogas plants under the Green Infrastructure Fund.
- The Quebec government invested $42.2 million in this project. The funds come from the program of treatment of organic matter by biomethanation and composting. The aim is to promote the achievement of the environmental objectives set out in the Quebec Residual Materials Management Policy and the 2013-2020 Action Plan on Climate Change.
- In total, this project has required investments of over $80 million, and the City of Saint-Hyacinthe has shouldered the remaining contribution of nearly $27 million.
Production Capacity: 224,000 – 485,000 GJ/year

SEMER
Rivière-du-Loup, QC
In Development
The Minister of Sustainable Development confirmed an investment of up to $11,478,342 from the Government of Quebec for a project in the Rivière-du-Loup region, as part of the Biomethanation and Composting Organic Materials Treatment Program. This financial assistance is in addition to a maximum federal contribution of $4,061,318 from the Green Infrastructure Fund.
SEMER will be able to equip itself with facilities capable of efficiently treating organic matter from different sources and transforming it into a renewable fuel: biomethane. It will treat the organic residual materials from the population of the municipalities of Rivière-du-Loup, Kamouraska, Basques and La Haute-Gaspésie, La Mitis and La Matapédia, more than 118,000 people.
The facilities are located on the site of the Rivière-des-Vases landfill site in Cacouna. An estimated 25,742 tonnes of organic matter can be processed annually. This represents a reduction in CO2 emissions of approximately 8,800 tonnes per year. The project will produce 3,000,000 m3/year of RNG, which will then be liquefied to supply the network Route Energirs.
Production Capacity: 112,000 GJ/year

City of Quebec – Centre de biomethanisation de la matiere organique (CBMO)
Quebec, QC
In Development
The developer of the facility is the City of Quebec, and they plan for the facility to be commissioned in 2022. The project price is estimated at $124.5 million.
Funding consists of $64.3 million in contribution from the city, $43.6 million being paid from the provincial government, and $16.6 million in funding from the federal government.
The amount of $124.5 million includes: the construction of the biomethanation center for $98.5 million and the implementation of the food waste collection program for $26 million. The RNG is expected to be injected into the local gas distribution system.
Production Capacity: 6,600,000 m3/year of RNG & 83,000 tonnes/year of digestate
(possible uses: agricultural recycling, composting)

Montreal East
Montreal, QC
In Development
A biomethanation center to be developed by the City of Montreal, planning to be commissioned in 2020. The RNG is expected to be injected into the local gas distribution system.
Production Capacity: 4,000,000 m3/year of RNG, 18,000 tonnes/year pre-compost, and 3,550 tonnes/year green residue.

Longueuil
St-Hubert, QC
In Development
The creation of a recycling center for organic materials by biomethanation and composting will allow the transformation of food residues and green residues into energy and compost.
The developer of this facility, the City of Longueuil, plans for the date of commissioning to be in 2022. Project price is estimated at $70 million. $33 million is paid for by the city, and the federal and provincial governments will contribute $37 million. The RNG is expected to be injected into the local gas distribution system.
Production Capacity: 4,200,000 m3/year of RNG, and 14,000 tons/year of compost.

RGMRM
Saint-Étienne-des-Grès
In Development
Mauricie’s residual materials management board (RGMRM) intends to build a plant costing around $10 million, which would purify the approximately 20 million cubic meters of landfill gas recovered annually.
Production Capacity: 20,000,000 m3/year x 0.0373 GJ/m3 = 746,000 GJ x 53% (since it is landfill gas which is avg. ~50% methane, natural gas ~95% methane, 50/95=~53%) = ~395,000 GJ/year
