NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. — Walker Industries has partnered with Comcor Environmental and Enbridge Gas on the Niagara Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) facility, the largest RNG project in Ontario, which recently reached final stages of commissioning.
The plant will capture and refine landfill gas into low-carbon RNG, providing enough clean energy for more than 8,750 residential homes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 48,000 tonnes over the course of a year, a release indicates.
Originally announced in 2020, the facility is a $50 million partnership.
The Niagara location has the necessary infrastructure to support the project, including a fully developed landfill gas capture and collection system and a direct connection to the Enbridge natural gas distribution system, which will be activated soon, adds the release.
“The project represents our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Geordie Walker, president and CEO of Walker Industries, in a statement. “For the past 20 years, we have been harnessing landfill gas into energy and we are excited to provide a consistent source of clean natural gas that can heat homes and support industrial activity for many years to come.”
