The facility combines anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading to produce RNG, primarily by converting agricultural waste from local dairy farms.
FortisBC operates the interconnection facility at Fraser Valley Biogas, monitoring gas quality and connecting this source of RNG to its customers. The facility produces more than 80,000 gigajoules of RNG annually — enough to heat around 1,000 homes for one year. EverGen plans to expand the project, boosting RNG production to more than 125,000 gigajoules per year.
“There is a significant gap in renewable infrastructure across Canada, and EverGen’s aim is to remedy that,” said Chase Edgelow, co-founder and C
