Z2.2Expand local biofuel production

The Surrey Biofuel Facility is both the first and largest closed-loop organic waste facility in North America. Designed to process 115,000 tonnes of organic waste a year, the facility turns organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG) and high-quality compost. The RNG produced by the facility is then used to power the City’s waste collection trucks, operations vehicle fleet and to feed the City’s District Energy System representing a great example of circular economy. In total, the facility can produce up to 120,000 gigajoules of renewable natural gas and 45,000 tonnes of high quality compost each year.

This action will focus on how RNG production can be expanded from organic waste generated in Surrey.
