WARWICK, QUE. — An agricultural cooperative in Quebec says it will build a new biomethanation complex in Warwick, Que. that will produce renewable natural gas from manure and other organic byproducts in the region.
The creation of Coop Agri-Energie Warwick was announced Dec. 16. The new biomethanation complex will produce 2.3 million cubic metres of renewable natural gas annually.
Energir has agreed to purchase all of the cooperative’s renewable natural gas production for a period of 20 years and inject it into its gas distribution network. Construction of the complex will begin in spring 2020 for commissioning in the fall of 2020.
The project, at a cost of $12 million, will receive financial assistance of $3 million from the Government of Quebec, granted under the Technoclimat program administered by Energy Transition Quebec, and a repayable contribution of $1.7 million granted by Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions under the Regional Economic Growth through Innovation program.
The design, construction and commissioning of the complex will be undertaken by Genitique, a Quebec-based specialist in anaerobic digestion projects. Dominion & Grimm Environment and Air Science will supply the biomethanizers and the purification system respectively.
Partners in the project include the Government of Quebec, Desjardins Group, Investissement Quebec, Fondaction, the Quebec Social Investment Network, La Coop federee and the Conseil Quebecois de la cooperation and mutuality.
