National Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Handbook

A Resource for Canadian Municipalities
RNG Handbook

An Applied Resource for Canadian Municipalities on the Implementation of Renewable Natural Gas

May 2020

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) presents a unique opportunity not only to tackle GHG emissions and improve local air quality, but also to advance a circular economy for municipalities. When implemented on a municipal scale, biomethane can also be injected into local gas utility distribution systems as RNG, given its chemical similarity to fossil natural gas.  

Ideal for municipal officials and staff, our RNG Handbook reviews RNG sources, production, benefits, and provides an outline for RNG project planning and implementation.

The Webinar

On May 25th, QUEST, CGA, and CBA held a webinar to present the key findings of the Handbook. Tom McLenaghan, Program Manager, New Infrastructure – Waste Management Division of the Region of Peel shared their experience with the Anaerobic Digestion Facility Project.

QUEST mène et prépare une recherche appliquée de pointe pour habiliter les praticiens et les décideurs avec les outils dont ils ont besoin pour faire progresser les communautés énergétiques intelligentes. En savoir plus sur nos projets:

Energy Transition Policy Program

Energy Transition Policy Program

The objective of QUEST Canada’s Energy Transition Policy Program is to engage in a collaborative discussion with energy decision-makers to align climate and energy transition planning and policies that will facilitate sustainable community energy systems in support of a net-zero carbon (carbon neutral) economy by 2050.

NCA: Prairies Cohort

NCA: Prairies Cohort

The NCA Program’s inaugural cohort, the Prairies Cohort, is currently comprised of ten participating communities from Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

New Brunswick Smart Energy Communities Accelerator Pilot Program

Programme pilote d’accélération des collectivités écoénergétiques intelligentes au Nouveau-Brunswick

Le programme pilote ACEI NB a réussi à mettre en place un accélérateur de planification énergétique communautaire pour aider une série de communautés du Nouveau-Brunswick et une Première nation, en leur fournissant les outils et les connaissances nécessaires pour élaborer et mettre en œuvre des plans énergétiques communautaires et comprendre l'avantage économique net qu'ils peuvent apporter.
