Canadian utility company FortisBC has signed a 20-year offtake agreement for renewable natural gas (RNG) from the Fraser Valley Biogas facility in British Columbia, RNG developer EverGen Infrastructure said June 24.
FortisBC plans to inject the RNG into its natural gas system. The deal involves the purchase of up to 160,000 gigajoules of RNG annually, according to a news release. Fraser Valley Biogas uses anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading to produce RNG.
“We are pleased to continue our relationship with EverGen and Fraser Valley Biogas, one of our very first RNG suppliers,” said David Bennett, director of renewable gas and low carbon fuels at FortisBC. “By continuing to increase our RNG supply, we are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supporting our vision to have around 75 percent of the gas in our system be renewable and low-carbon by 2050.”
EverGen also said it secured a long-term feedstock supply agreement with a waste disposal consolidator in the region, further derisking the project. The feedstock represents greater than 50% of the off-farm waste required to achieve name plate capacity, the company said.
