EverGen produces compost and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from organic waste. Its projects capture methane emissions that would otherwise be released in the organic waste decomposition process, converting them into clean energy that supports the circular economy and reduces global emissions. The process also yields nutrient-rich compost and fertilizers used by local farmers, helping them reduce reliance on chemical alternatives and protecting natural water systems.

RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS

5% renewable gas (RNG or hydrogen) target in natural gas streams by 2025

10% renewable gas target by 2030, set by the Canadian Gas Association

FortisBC aims to cut customer GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 (30BY30)

3.438 trillion cubic feet of natural gas sold in Canada in 2019

Increased renewable gas use could cut 14 megatonnes of GHGs annually by 2030 - This reduction equals removing 3.1 million passenger cars from the road each year

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Canada aims to reduce waste by 30% by 2030 and 50% by 2040

Goal of zero plastic waste by 2030, set by provincial and territorial governments.

50% of food waste expected to be diverted by 2030, reducing 1.4 MT of eCO₂

70% food waste diversion by 2050 projected, reducing 1.96 MT of eCO₂

Canada is increasingly diverting organic waste from landfills/incinerators, supporting the circular economy.

TARGETS FOR CANADA

The first anaerobic digestion facility to inject RNG into the natural gas grid, Fraser Valley Biogas is paving the way for RNG in North America

The RNG produced by Fraser Valley Biogas has calculated carbon intensity (CI) of -51 gCO2e/MJ vs. conventional natural gas’ Cl of 68 gCO2e/MJ. Leading to a CI reduction of 19,000 tonnes CO2e annually.

Fraser Valley Biogas project can supply enough carbon-neutral RNG to meet the needs of 1,800 homes in the Metro Vancouver region with 160,000 GJ of RNG annually for injection into its natural gas system. Increasing the amount of RNG in FortisBC’s natural gas lines is key to achieving FortisBC’s 30BY30 target.

CASE STUDY : FRASER VALLEY BIOGAS

Scope 1

Total Scope 1

GHG Emissions in 2023:

2,510.22 tCO2e

Emissions include all direct GHG emissions from sources that are owned and controlled by EverGen. Managing Scope 1 emissions is a critical aspect of our sustainability strategy, as they are the most significant and directly controllable emission sources.

Scope 2

Total Scope 2

GHG Emissions in 2023:

52.69 tCO2e

Emissions include indirect GHG emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, steam or cooling. These emissions are generated at the production site of the electricity or energy purchased.

Scope 3

EverGen is actively evaluating the best methods to compile and report our Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in our value chain, such as those from the production of purchased goods and services, waste disposal, and employee commuting.
