Saanich Landfill Opens First-of-Its-Kind Renewable Natural Gas Facility
- The Capital Regional District opened a renewable natural gas facility at Hartland Landfill, the first on Vancouver Island.
- The facility’s development took nearly three years to enable methane capture from organic landfill waste for energy use.
- Waga Energy manages a $32 million facility that generates as much as 360 terajoules of renewable natural gas each year, contributing to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
- The facility could cut carbon emissions by nearly 475,000 tonnes over 25 years, equal to removing 105,000 homes from the grid.
- CRD leadership calls this project a major advancement in local greenhouse gas reduction and a model for circular economy solutions.
