His company, Vancouver-based EverGen Infrastructure Corp., was founded just two years ago and has already snapped up two organic waste processing facilities in British Columbia It also has plans to pursue similar acquisitions in Alberta and Quebec at some point in the future.
Mr. Edgelow’s company is a renewable-energy company that converts organic waste into “Renewable Natural Gas,” a non-fossil-fuel form of natural gas that has been the subject of a flurry of announcements by Canadian utility companies in recent months. Enbridge Inc., ATCO Energy Solutions Ltd., and FortisBC are all actively pursuing opportunities in the space.
It’s already being done. EverGen already owns Fraser Valley Biogas, which has been in production since 2011 and is Western Canada’s first RNG facility. The facility combines anaerobic digesting and biogas upgrading technologies to produce RNG from the manure produced by local dairy farms. “We’ve got 50,000 kilometres of gas pipeline we’ve built up over the decades,” Mr. Mazza said. “So from an affordability perspective, all we’re doing is we’re bringing that renewable gas into existing infrastructure rather than having to build out all new infrastructure that customers would have to pay for.”
While cost has always been a significant impediment to widespread RNG adoption, advocates say public-policy changes are fuelling increased demand. British Columbia’s CleanBC objectives commit to a 15 per cent renewable gas content in the province’s natural-gas system by 2030, for example, while the government of Quebec has also set minimum RNG targets for natural gas providers.
Not even as clean as natural gas what a joke!
