EverGen expects FVB, which it acquired 2021, to exceed its annual nameplate capability of 160,000 gigajoules, in keeping with an announcement from Zajtmann March 5.
EverGen not too long ago gained an settlement to produce FVB RNG to FortisBC Power Inc. for 20 years. FortisBC, a Surrey, British Columbia-based pure gasoline and energy utility, will inject the RNG from FVB into its gasoline system, EverGen mentioned in a information launch June 24. FortisBC operates the interconnection facility on the FVB facility.

Zajtmann mentioned, “With each offtake and feedstock agreements in place on a long-term foundation, EverGen has considerably de-risked the FVB venture”.
Canada’s gasoline utilities have set an aspirational objective of 5 % RNG blended into pure gasoline streams by 2025 and 10 % by 2030, in keeping with the Canadian Fuel Affiliation.
Fifteen RNG manufacturing crops have to this point been put into operation in Canada, in keeping with the business group.
