Canada's biogas mission

摘要

Biogas is a small but growing industry in Canada. The production of Canadian biogas from all major sources — agricultural organics (excluding energy crops), landfill gas, residential and commercial source separated organics, and municipal wastewater - is equivalent to 3% of Canada's natural gas demand or 2,420 million m3 per year of renewable natural gas. This represents up to 810MW of electricity and 1.3% of Canada's electricity demand. More than 100 anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities are located across Canada with more than 30% of these projects based in Ontario.
