Post-Industrial Waste Composting

The Enfoui-Bec project site is located is located near Trois-Rivière, Quebec. The project takes waste from pulp and paper companies and produces compost instead of putting it into landfills. The goal of the initiative is to is to reduce the direct environmental impact caused by the waste, such as methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. Methane is a gas that is released with anaerobic biomass decay in a landfill environment. By composting, the methane production is reduced through aerobic treatment (or composting) of the biomass. The compost produced is use for local farm land fertilization.

Thorold Landfill Gas Capture Project

Located in Thorold, Ontario, this project captures landfill gas from decomposing garbage (methane and carbon dioxide), preventing it from escaping into the atmosphere and contributing to the greenhouse gas effects. The captured gas is actually converted into renewable electricity which is used to power local industry. The project is responsible for reducing up to 30,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year.

Soderglen Wind Farm Project

The Soderglen Wind farm Project employs 47 state of the art wind turbines with a rating of 1.5 MW each producing a total capacity of 70.5 MW. The turbines power is collected through a medium voltage collection system to the main substation. At the main substation the voltage is increased to 138 kV for direct connection to the Alberta Interconnected Electrical System via a 12 kilometre interconnection line. Based on Alberta’s Quantification Protocol for Wind-Powered Electrical Generation Version 1, March 2008, this project will avoid approximately 0.65 tonnes CO2e GHG for every mega-watt hour of electricity produced, by replacing traditional coal-powered generation.

Des Plaines Landfill Gas Capture Project

The Des Plaines Landfill Methane Recovery and Destruction Project located in northern Illinois near the city of Des Plaines, captures and destroys fugitive methane and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) from a closed former waste handling and disposal (solid waste management) site.

The Project includes gas collection and power generation systems to produce in total about 13 million kWH of electricity per year, or enough to power 1,300 households. The project is responsible for reducing up to 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year.
