CBA Calls for Policies to Develop RNG Markets in Ontario
Ottawa, Ontario (August 25, 2017) - As the voice of Canada's biogas sector, the Canadian Biogas Association (CBA) calls upon the Ontario government to create policies that support the development of RNG projects across the province.
Ontario is taking a leadership role on GHG reduction measures and action to move Ontario towards a circular, low-carbon economy. As a proven, 100% renewable technology, biogas is an immediate solution for Ontario's GHG reduction targets and can play a key role in achieving Ontario's priority energy, environmental, and rural economic policies. Renewable natural gas (RNG) produced from biogas is a versatile, low-carbon fuel that is fully interchangeable with natural gas. RNG is a clear winner for decarbonizing Ontario's natural gas supply.
Biogas and RNG development has stagnated in Ontario with a current lack of policies and regulations that encourage the development and use of this technology. To realize the powerful climate benefits of RNG, the industry needs predictable market demand and long-term revenue to attract capital investment necessary to develop new biogas projects.
'The biogas industry is ready to develop RNG projects today to contribute to lower-carbon, resilient energy systems'saysJenniferGreen, Executive Directorofthe Canadian Biogas Association 'Ontario has the expertise to build more facilities with proven, low-risk technology, and to support development sustainable business models are essential.'
