![]() “The accelerating growth of RNG production in Ontario enables waste industry organizations like BRA to demonstrate leadership in displacing diesel. There are over 30 RNG projects in various stages of development or construction in Ontario. Today, there are more than 110 operating RNG facilities in North America, with ten of those in Canada. Like diesel, RNG operates during freezing weather conditions and refuelling takes minutes. Having a clean, renewable and local source of energy for our fleet embodies everything the BRA believes in,” said Francis Veilleux, president of Bluewater Recycling Association.Īccording to Enbridge Gas, the BRA’s RNG truck will displace CO2 emissions from 18,000 litres of diesel in its first six months.įurthermore, RNG trucks are half the cost of electric trucks and are priced similar to diesel trucks and can replace them without compromising performance. We want to use cleaner renewable energy sources to serve our communities while continuing to strive for a more circular economy in all aspects of our operations and help to ensure our municipal members meet their environmental commitments. “This project is a natural next step in the progressive conversion of our fleet from diesel to a cleaner energy source. ![]() RELATED: Sandvik reduces emissions by up to 90% with HVO-capable Cat engines ![]() Diverting methane emissions that would otherwise be released into the air combined with eliminating CO2 emissions from diesel fuel results in negative carbon emissions while also diverting farm waste and supporting local economic development. How it works: The decomposition of agricultural waste generates methane gas, which is converted into RNG and used in place of diesel fuel. ![]() Bluewater Recycling Association (BRA), Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA) and Enbridge Gas have announced the first-in-Ontario, carbon-negative refuse truck, fuelled by renewable natural gas (RNG) produced by a local Ontario farm from largely cow manure. ![]()
