The Proposed Farnham RNG Production Facility
The Farnham project is the first biomethanization plant in North America for Nature Energy and Énergir Développement. The project in Farnham plans to use 715,000 tonnes of biomass, of which 80% will come from agricultural sources and the remaining 20% from the agri-food industry.
Location: Farnham Industrial Site
Creation of 15 permanent jobs, and 200+ during construction
Biomass type: 80% agriculture, 20% agri food waste
Volumes processed annually: 715,000 tons
Volumes of RNG produced annually: 20 Mm3
GHGs avoided annually: 60 000 tons equivalent
Why Farnham?
Because the region is densely populated with farms capable of providing up to 3,7 times the biomass required for the operations of a Nature Energy plant.
Two years of construction for the Farnham plant
Use of local contractors and operators for the plant
Negative pressure buildings and +$10 M investment in odour treatment technologies
