BC’s EverGen awarded federal dollars for RNG expansion

Vancouver-based EverGen Infrastructure said June 28 it had been awarded C$10.5mn (US$7.9mn) from the Canadian government’s Clean Fuels Fund to support EverGen’s renewable natural gas (RNG) expansion at its Pacific Coast Renewables (PCR) facility in BC’s Lower Mainland.

The funding will support capital expansion at PCR – formerly Net Zero Waste Abbotsford – with the addition of anaerobic digestion capabilities to produce biogas, which will be upgraded to RNG and added to FortisBC’s natural gas distribution system under an existing 20-year agreement.

The expansion is designed to produce about 180,000 GJ/year of RNG alongside liquid digestate and solid organic fertilisers, which are by-products of the anaerobic digestion process.
