In Canada, Andion, a proven leader in organic waste to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) with a mission to fuel a net-zero future, announced that the Semiahmoo RNG project has moved into the closing phase on the development of a full-scale Anaerobic Digestion facility on Semiahmoo Reserve Lands thanks to funding from Natural Resources Canada. The project will process organic waste from household, multi-family as well as businesses in the surrounding area, and generate RNG, a carbon-negative energy source that can directly displace fossil fuels customers who receive RNG via FortisBC’s existing distribution network.
The facility will be jointly owned by Semiahmoo First Nation’s economic arm, Semiahmoo LLC, and Andion North America, and is the first major economic development project on the reserve. The project will offset fossil fuel use, divert organic waste, create jobs and revenue for the Semiahmoo Nation, and recycle nutrients back into ecosystems.
